you can install the alsa modules very easily if you are running Debian
kernel. Assuming this is the case do:

apt-cache search alsa-modules

Then apt-get install the one that corresponds to your kernel (find out
with "uname -r")

Or save on keystrokes with

apt-get isntall alsa-modules-`uname -r`

Cheers,

Nick.
