I just installed debian/unstable on my new laptop and
am eager to get ALSA running.
But it seems that the ALSA modules in unstable are for kernel 2.4.20, which is not
in unstable. The closest is 2.4.21. What to do? Would ALSA work with the modules for
kernel 2.4.20 running on 2.4.21? If not, is the only solution to install ALSA from
source?
Thanks in advance...

If I am not mistaken there is an image of the 2.4.20 kernel in unstable.
~: apt-cache search kernel-image-2.4.20
kernel-image-2.4.20-3-386 - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.20 on 386.
kernel-image-2.4.20-3-586tsc - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.20 on
Pentium-Classic.

Anyway, I would suggest compiling from source. So you probably want
to install:
kernel-source-2.4.[...] (or 2.5)
kernel-patch-2.4-preempt
kernel-patch-2.4-lowlatency
alsa-source
Hope that helps.
