Have you tried installing kmod-alsa from ELrepo?  I found this got sound 
working on SL5 for several of my newer motherboards.  I suspect the same 
for SL6.  I did, however leapfrog from 5 to 7.  There is a bit of a 
learning curve (systemd, etc), but it isn't really that horrible once 
you spend a few days with it.
