The stock kernels come with sound drivers that may support your card.
Try
modprobe cs46xx
to see if it works. Maybe the idepci kernel does not have the driver you
need, in that case it may be easier to install another one, like 2.2.20
or 2.4.18-1-686 instead of compiling and setting up alsa. The kernel
you have installed probably has security issues, and you have to get a
newer package from security.debian.org anyway. By default the package
management system does not know that the installation kernel is there,
so it is not updated by apt.
