Try using "kernel-package" to compile the alsa source, you need also the source
of the kernel (can use the source from kernel.org or the source from a debian
package, you compiled yourself, so you don't need to download again =), and
last, i suggest you to untar the sources in another directory instead of
/usr/src/linux (for example in your home dir, or under  /usr/local).

You will find all the instructions in
/usr/share/doc/alsa-source/README.Debian.gz or looking in this mail-list
archive...
