  well, if you have 0.5 working the process to get 0.9 working is
basically the same. the easiest way is to use make-kpkg:

  apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.10
  apt-get install alsa-source (that's 0.9+0beta7-2)

  pick the right soundcard and settings (I don't think this changes
since 0.5) and:

  cd /usr/src
  tar -xvf alsa-driver.tar.gz -gzip
  tar -xvf kernel-source-2.4.10.tar.bz2 -bzip2
  cd kernel-source-2.4.10
  cp ../kernel-source-2.4.9/.config (or whatever is your previous
kernel)
  make oldconfig
  make-kpkg --revision 99:`hostname`.0 kernel_image
  make-kpkg  modules image (uses same revision number)
  cd ..
  dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.10_jojda.0_i386.deb
  dpkg -i alsa-modules-2.4.10_0.9+0beta7-1+p99+jojda.0_i386.deb
  shutdown -r now (reboot, previous kernel is linux.old)

  that should do it, if it doesn't you have to send the error messages
to the list. However, I would suggest alsa user mailing list, you get
better responses to alsa related question there (usually). The alsa
mailing list is at www.alsa-project.org.
