Straight from the ALSA driver package:

file: INSTALL

---<--
1) You must have full configured source for the Linux kernel which you
   want to use for the ALSA drivers. Note that ALSA drivers are part
   of the kernel, so there is necessary to resolve all symbol dependencies
   between the used kernel and ALSA driver code. Partly installed kernels
   (for example from distributor makers) can be unuseable for this action.

2) You must turn on sound support (soundcore module).
--->--

If soundcore module is a must, you'll have to recompile the kernel. But that's 
strange, since you said Mandrake came with ALSA installed. Check if the 
module is there with "modinfo soundcore". It should be here, anyway:

/lib/modules/2.4.x/kernel/drivers/sound/soundcore.o

Maybe 1) describes your problem. If so, sorry, but it seems you'll have to 
compile the kernel.
