You want the alsa packages for that.
You can either install the alsa-modules for your kernel (on unstable I
only saw them for 2.4 kernels), or download alsa-source and compile for
you kernel (make-kpkg --added-modules alsa-driver modules-image to
build the package).

First run as root ln -s /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 /etc/modutils/alsa Get
the alsaconf package and run alsaconf. It should detect your card and
make a configuration file (you may have to do touch /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9
if you get an error that it doesn't exist).
You may have to do an update-modules afterword but I thing alsaconf
does that for you.
This should get things working.

Don't know where it keeps its configuration. I believe that it uses
alsa and /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 but maybe it uses /etc/modutils/alsa or
something like that directly. Can't help you much there, sorry.
