Re: recompiling alsa module w kernel 2.4.21-ben2

[Jonathan Segel <jsegel@magneticmotorworks.com>]

i'm a little confused about this same sort of thing - though with any 
debian kernel. in dselect install/config it went through an alsa 
config that had a choice of using powermac sound out, but now while 
alsa is (supposedly?) installed, alsaconfig finds no modules, no 
cards.
it's confusing for me because i can't go by the normal alsa 
instructions as the drivers and whatnot are not in /usr/src where 
they would be compiled into modules for the kernel. how does one go 
about makingn als work in debian? (and especially with dmasound?)
