ALSA and Kernel 2.6

["uGAH man!" <devotion@superig.com.br>]

   Hi... I have interest in using the linux kernel 2.6 but i'm afraid i 
won't be able to use ALSA since it has a module in the kernel and the 
ALSA kernel modules package is only available for kernels up to 2.4.22 ...
   What should i do? Can i build the alsa-source instead of waiting for 
the 2.6 package to come? Has anyone done that yet?
   Thanks
