Well, unless your sound card is the same as mine a direct copy/paste of my modules.conf will do you little good.  You need to go to Alsa's website (http://www.alsa-project.org) and look up your sound card (the Supported Soundcards link) and determine what to put in your modules.conf.  What is your sound card?  Mine was for an ancient Gateway laptop, built in, so it's pretty much a given that your settings will be different.

Ok, that all looks good, you probably just need the right modules.conf settings.  If you look at /var/log/packages/alsa-driver-0.9.6-i486-3 you'll notice that it drops a bunch of files in /lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/sound, so if you decide to compile a new kernel, I believe you'll also need to rebuild the alsa driver (you can get the source from the alsa website).
