Oops sorry for shooting off my mouth on the last post. I installed
alsa-source right now. 
It asks for the cards to build for, i choose i810 (coz the i810 oss
driver works right now)
I change to /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver
I do a ./configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.21
I don't see any error.
I run make install and the errors:
cp: cannot stat `snd-hwdep.o': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `snd-page-alloc.o': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `snd-pcm.o': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `snd-rawmidi.o': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `snd-timer.o': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `snd.o': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [_modinst__] Error 1
make: *** [install-modules] Error 1

No way to get alsa working without recompiling kernel ?? :(

Oh well! Can somebody please take the trouble and point me out to links

Thanks for spoonfeeding me
