Never mind; I just found a .deb in /usr/src. So I did a "dpkg -i
alsa....deb", which then apparently did some installing and then asked
if I wanted to start alsaconf. I answered "Y". It flashed a few console
messages (it seems I saw a "snd module not found", and then debconf came
up and asked me to select a card; I chose "0x31 Intel_810. . . ". I then
accepted all the defaults on the next few questions (Card_Identifier =
CARD_0, Max Playback frame size in kB = [blank], Max capture frame size
in kB = [blank], Max microphone frame size in kB = [blank]), then told
it "1 No_more_cards". It asked if I wanted to modify
/etc/alsa/modutils/0.5; I answered Yes. It flashed a "cannot create
regular file [something I couldn't read because it disappeared too
fast]", and then said "Okay, 1 card(s) configured." I clicked on OK, and
got this:

So I ran through it again, this time with a "2> error.log" appended, and
this time putting in "100" on the three questions about frame size,etc.
Here's the contents of error.log:

Thanks for any help!
