You could try rebuilding using the vic & rat SRPM from the following page:
http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~grangenet/ag_fedora/

e.g.
rpmbuild --rebuild AccessGrid-rat-4.2.22-4.fdr.src.rpm
rpm -i /usr/src/redhat/i386/AccessGrid-rat-4.2.22-4.fdr.i386.rpm
...

Which include patches from the AG cvs repository and a Alsa 1.0 driver
patch. The alsa-lib-devel & alsa-lib-devel packages will need to be
installed before building.
