Because each time the kernel is recompiled, the entry and exit points from
the kernel change. Due to this change Alsa (and most everything else that
interfaces with the kernel) needs to be recompiled to match up with the new
kernel you are running.

Think of it this way - RH gives you a kernel and things that match - the
Planet gives you a kernel and things that match. No difference...
