This is not necessary; alsa is included in the 2.6 kernel.

Good, but also not necessary.

Run lspci to figure out what card you have. Then figure out what the
kernel config calls it, and enable compilation of that driver (as a
module, or inline). You'll know it works when /dev/dsp exists (I
guess it won't exist until it works, because you have udev, no?)
You might find this useful to grep the kernel Kconfig files for 'foo':
grep -Hi 'foo' $(find -name Kconfig)
Then read the given files and figure out which option controls that
driver.

lspci would be useful if you can't get the above to work.
