If the sound modules built in the kernel don't work for you, why not
try ALSA?  You'll have to get the ALSA packages from unstable (sid),
those from potato or woody don't work with the 2.4-series kernels

Basically first you build a kernel package as described in the
`kernel-package' package documentation.  Perhaps you've already done
this.

Then you install the packages alsaconf alsa-base alsa-source
alsa-utils and maybe some others to satisfy the dependencies.  Finally
you follow the instructions in
/usr/share/doc/alsa-source/README.Debian.gz and build an alsa-modules
package.

hope this helps,
Christoph
