There's no *simple* way that I could figure out.

I ended up downloading kernel-source-2.4.19, building that (using
kpkg), downloading alsa-source, building it with kpkg, and installing
the resulting images.  Takes some time and a bit of fiddling, but not
*terribly* difficult.  If you want to do that, let me know.  I'll
provide more details.

Maybe there's an easier way.  If so, I'd like to hear about it, too. 

Meanwhile, it would be *really wonderful* for someone to upload a set
of binary packages for alsa-modules-2.4.19-*.
