ALSA is well documented.. just in an unconventional way. There are
mailing lists everywhere and unofficial FAQ's/official HOWTO's for 0.9
all over the place.

If you're running debian, first start by using the dpkg-reconfigure
options on the alsa-source package and then use make-kpkg modules to
build a deb for the alsa source. This way you'll have nice "debianized"
alsa modules ready to install with dpkg.

What's in /dev/sound? (Are you using devfs?) You should have a "mixer"
there, and make sure it's readable by non-root users. (Or just add your
user to the audio group)
You're right -- the devices shouldn't be zero. It just sounds like they
weren't properly installed.. try the make-kpkg method, look for the
mixer device and check perms on the devices.
