It's easy nowdays. Grab the alsa-modules-whatever package that matches the stock kernel you're running and it will ask you what sound card module to load and then you're in business. Don't forget to run alsamixer and turn up the volume. :)
If you do your own kernel, you'll have to either compile the alsa modules yourself (smart), or use whatever oss support you can find in the kernel (dumb, but maybe easier). Package alsa-source, see docs in /usr/share/doc/alsa-source. If you want to do MAKEDEV, go ahead. I've never had to do that ever. In my life. At all. * Glen Wagley [Thu, 2 Oct 2003 at 19:46 -0500] <quote> > Ok, I've done this before but it was a *long* time ago. I have a good > old soundblaster live card.
