  you nedd to get alsa-source module, follow the docs included with
module.

  basically you need to enable sound modules in kernel but NOT enable
any of the kernel modules. Then recompile kernel, compile and install
alsa modules and that's it. use make-lpkg (and again, follow the docs
included with make-kpkg)
