`debuild -b ..` - only builds binary packages.

Unless you want to re-distribute it there's no need to create a source
package. Why care?

The tools are from "alsa-tools". They don't come with alsa-lib (aka
libasound2). It's a separate package and separate source-tree.

Is there a /usr/include/alsa/sound/hdspm.h ? it should come with
libasound2-dev:

dpkg --contents /tmp/libasound2-dev_1.0.24.1-1_i386.deb | grep hdsp
[..] ./usr/include/alsa/sound/hdspm.h
[..] ./usr/include/alsa/sound/hdsp.h

Did the `sudo dpkg -i *asound2*.deb` succeed? dpkg is a bit picky about
the order or the packages; in particular if -dev package of previous
versions were installed. but dpkg will tell you.

Just copy/paste/re-order the .deb file-names one at a time  (instead of
using the *asound2*.deb wildcard) until dpkg is happy

dpkg -i libasound2_1.0.24.1-1_i386.deb
dpkg -i libasound2-dev_1.0.24.1-1_i386.deb

or use the '--force-depends' option of dpkg to ignore conflicts.

Carefully read the compiler output.
   alsa/sound/hdspm.h: No such file or directory

The missing file is  /usr/include/alsa/sound/hdspm.h
It comes from alsa-lib and has nothing to do with linux-kernel headers.
