Have you tried the ALSA mail list ?
Although alot of people here use both ALSA and OSS, you might get more
help specifically on ALSA from the alsa mail list or home page :
www.alsa-project.org
OR you could also try the 4front:
www.4front-tech.com
OTHERWISE .... compile your kernel with sound enabled :
1 cd /usr/src/linux
2 make xconfig OR make config
Build the kernel with sound modules enabled and configured ...
might require isapnp as well to set up the card at boot.
3 make bzlilo or somehting similar to compile the kernel
4 make modules
5 make modules_install
6 Reboot
7 debug !!!
fuzzies to ya...
