1. You are trying to compile things with no need to do so.
2. You are reading "miscellaneous web documentation".
3. You need the snd-ca0106 module afaics.  This is in 2.6.11-rc1
onwards.
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/linux.kernel/browse_frm/thread/de6e64485418b25c/159cb84365f4a1c0?lnk=st&q=ca0106+kernel&rnum=75#159cb84365f4a1c0

I would grab the 2.6.12 kernel image from backports.org.
