Just try "rpm -e package_name".
Do you have the new fc5 versions of the kernel and alsa installed?

It appears you have not done that as you still have the fc3 versions of
alsa-lib, alsa-tools, etc, etc (I think you will not be able to erase
the kernel-module-alsa packages until you install the newer kernel and
alsa packages).
