I would like to add a command to my bootup sequence so that the command "modprobe au8830" is executed.

I am running RH 7.1.

My point of confusion comes in that I am not sure whether to add the command to my rc. or inittab file.

I would prefer this to be a global command so that no matter what ID I use it will launch.

Thanks in advance.

Put it in rc.local and it will be executed once per boot. The inittab file is checked everytime you switch runlevels, I don't think you want to put it there also that file is not an executable script but more like a config file for the /sbin/init program.
