Thanks for your helpful message Colin!
I untarred the aureal driver package into /root/drivers/sound because
this package has a own makefile (supposing to have a built in module
installation routine) which would collidate with the makefile in..
/usr/src/...<kernel>../drivers/sound/
... and by thinking every system adjustment should only be done by
root.
Now what you suggested below (quoted) is absolutely new for me which
isn't that surprising because I'm really not that experienced in
administrating linux/unix.
This log :

...seems to have it's roots in the variable INCLUDEDIRS which I have
just found in the aureal makefile (attached to this message). I guess
I was too tired yesterday to notice it.
The kernel src is located at /usr/src/linux/xxx-2.2.17....
..and:

... I guess I have to cp modversions.h to the /usr/src/linux/ dir?
puh... what a work!

No, no, - the kernel source is installed as mentioned above, only the
aureal package is installed in /root (as mentioned at the top of this
message).

Here too - I didn't intend to touch the kernel. The aureal README
(attached to this mail) recommends to install the aureal driver by
"make install+<vortexchip>" in this case:
"make install20" (this makefile is attached to this message aswell)
I hope I could clarify and I would really appreciate some deep going
help.
Thank you

See http://aureal.sourceforge.net for the latest
driver and bug list.
NOTE: the GPL applies to the source modules only.
Redistribution of the binary modules requires
explicit permission from Aureal.
System Requirements
-------------------
This driver is for Intel x86 systems only.
If your BIOS has an option for "PnP OS", it must be disabled.
Note: if you get "device busy" error messages this might be
the problem.
This driver has been tested on the following distributions:
Red Hat 6.0, kernel version 2.2.5-15
Red Hat 6.1, kernel version 2.2.12-20
Red Hat 6.1, kernel version 2.2.13
Red Hat 6.2, kernel version 2.4.0-test6
Slackware 7.0, kernel version 2.2.16
Slackware 7.0, kernel version 2.4.0-test6
Slackware 7.0, kernel version 2.4.0-test7
Installing the Driver
---------------------
1. Unpack the distribution:
tar xvzf aureal*.tar.gz
2. Change to the driver directory and become root:
cd aureal*
su
3. Edit the Makefile to suit your system (SMP, CPU type, etc)
4. Type the following install commands:
If you have an 8830-based (Vortex 2) card:
make install
If you have an 8820-based (Vortex 1) card:
make install20
If you have an 8810-based (Vortex Advantage) card:
make install10
There is no need to reboot.
Note: if you get "unresolved symbol" errors during the install,
rebuild your kernel with sound support (soundcore) built in
(not a module).
Supported Sound Cards
---------------------
Aureal SQ2500 (8830-based)
Aureal SQ1500 (8810-based)
Diamond MX300 (8830-based)
Turtle Beach Montego (8820-based)
Any other Aureal 88(1|2|3)0 based card should work
Features
--------
1. OSS compatible.
2. Full duplex PCM playback and record, multiple channels (/dev/dsp).
3. Mixer support (/dev/mixer).
4. MPU-401 support (/dev/midi).
5. Joystck support at port 0x201.
6. Supports games such as Quake2.
7. Supports Vortex 8830, 8810, and 8820 based cards.
8. Supports /dev/audio and /dev/sndstat.
Midi synthesis is supported through a software midi synth, such as Timidity.
Known Problems
--------------
1. SMP is not tested
2. Small buffer (16k)
3. Random skipping with some movies in mtvp
