I reckon the easiest way to install alsa is to grab all the tarballs from http://www.alsa-project.org/

(this is from memory...)

build the driver:

cd alsa-drivexxx/ 
./configure --with-cards=powermac
make 
su -c "make install"
su -c "./snddevices"

build the lib (configure, make, make install)

build the oss support (configure, make, make install)

build the utils (configure, make, make install)

make a modutils file 

(/etc/modutils/alsa)

with this in it

# ALSA native device support
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-powermac

# OSS/Free setup
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss


then as root run:

 update-modules

/etc/init.d/alsasound start

and you are in!

cheers
