Nvidia first... I had the same problem and it would seem there was something
wrong with the Sarge packages for Nvidia, so they were removed. Solution: I
used the ones in "unstable" and I did not need to upgrade anything that might
break Debian in order to do it. I just did an apt-get for nvidia-glx and
nvidia-kernel-source, IIRC and then compiled the latter for my kernel.
For ALSA, it worked "out of the box" for me except for one thing, I could not
get oss-emu to work, so I installed alsa-base and alsa-utils and then I ran
alsa-conf and that took care of the problem.
