That part is relatively easy.  Add the following to a file named 10default
(or whatever you prefer) in your /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ directory:

APT::Default-Release "stable";

it simply sets the default release (and thereby a set of pins) to stable.

Then add entries for the other releases to your /etc/apt/sources.list, and
"apt-get update".

You just need the alsa-modules for your particular kernel version.
