You need the alsa-modules package for your kernel. If none exists for
your current kernel, you can try upgrading the kernel to one that does:
apt-cache search ^alsa-modules

Also install the kernel that matches the version:
apt-cache search ^kernel-image

or you can build the modules for any kernel. You will need the headers
package for a debian kernel:
apt-cache search ^kernel-headers

and the package alsa-source. Have a look at /usr/share/doc/alsa-source
to figure out what to do from there.
