Actually, Debian gives you a copy of alsa-driver.tar.gz in /usr/src. If you
untar them, the files go automagically into
/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver-<version>
which is perfectly right for Debian (see below)...

You have also the file /etc/alsa/alsa-source.conf
Where you can enter your card...
What I always do:
Unpacking the kernel-sources in /usr/src/ (->
/usr/src/kernel-sources-<version>)
Compiling a new kernel:
- cd kernel-sources-<version>
- make menuconfig
- make-kpkg --revision=<MyRevision> kernel_image
Unpacking the alsa-sources in /usr/src (->
/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver-<version>)
cd kernel-sources-<version>
make-kpkg modules_image
After that you have in /usr/src
- a kernel image (kernel-image-<version>.deb)
- a alsa modules image (alsa-modules-<version>.deb)
- maybe any other modules images
These images can be installed with
dpkg -i ImageFile.deb
The package management system makes all the configuration for you (no need
for snddevices, etc)
Hope that helps
