I don't use this card anymore but I think you had to insmod the opensound
driver first. However you have a bigger problem:

Basically what you are trying to do is the equivalent of trying to use a
Windows XP driver on Windows 3.1. Successive versions have different
architectures so you just can't usea driver compiled for one kernel
version on a different version as is. What you need to do is recompile it
for your kernel version (2.2.20-idepci) I am ccing this message to the
Debian users mailing list (debian-user@lists.debian.org) where someone
might be able guide you through the process step-by-step.
