I managed to get everything set up in accordance with Mij's page this time (ie, make-kpkg modules worked), which is nice. However, I can't adjust the volume; it's always very, very low. Also, alsamixer will load, but if I start xmms with the alsa-xmms output plugin loaded, I receive the following errors:

i have never installed alsa from the debs, only from source but when installing from source it is necessary to run a script called 'snddevices' that comes with the alsa-driver source. This script creates a load of devices in /dev/ relating to audio. It sounds like maybe this script hasn't been run. You could get the alsa-driver tarball from alsa and run the script to find out.
