I had a go at repackaging sndconfig for Debian recently, and found that
it depends rather heavily on kudzu (Red Hat's hardware configuration
system). I came to the conclusion that it would take either a major
rewrite of sndconfig or a reworking of Debian's hardware detection
system to get sndconfig to work on Debian.

Corel Linux (http://linux.corel.com/) use an older version of sndconfig
which predates kudzu, so if you download their package (I understand
Corel packages can be installed on a Debian system without too much
pain) you might be able to get that to work.
