I recommend building all the (potentially relevant) sound drivers as a
modules so that you can toy with them and try different settings
without going through a recompile and a reboot. If some specific
kernel features aren't absolutely essential then you could use a stock
kernel to figure out what you need for sound since the stock kernels
come with just about everything in module form.
