For a starter, you should install the kernel-package and read the README
file in /usr/doc/kernel-package/. Then you should go over to the
/usr/doc/HOWTO/Sound-HOWTO. This should bring you so far to be able to
compile the kernel.
When configuruing the kernel, a lot of questions will be asked. You should
read the help sections, and answer them more or less appropriate.

The kernel-source is independent from the kernel-headers. libc6 needs a
special version of kernel-headers (is this still true, Manoj ?), and you
should keep dselects choice. Install kernel-source 2.0.32, it is more stable
then 2.0.33.
Then go to /usr/src/linux (or /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.32) and do:
make config (or make menuconfig for better interface).
After answering all the questions (you have most of the time three choices,
*Y*es, *N*o and *M*odule, answer "M" when asked for sound support), you can
do:
make-kpkg --revision custom.1.0 kernel_image
After some time (half an hour), you have a complete *.deb package of your
kernel in /usr/src. Voila!
Install it with
dpkg -i <filename>
