Thanks for the suggestion.  I grabbed some debian packages that appear to be
equivalent: alsa-base, libasound2, alsa-utils, and alsaconf.

It appears that the files on the CD from ASUS were mostly copies from the alsa
site.  After reading the documentation there, I was able to fill in the gaps.  I
had to set some permission on a few device files, insert the modules, and unmute
some mixer settings.  

I now have sound!

Thanks for the assistance.
