Right, that would explain why you are having difficulties. You need to do some 
reading. Start here:
http://demudi.alioth.debian.org/wiki/DocumentsFaq
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/
http://alsa.opensrc.org/

Unfortunately alsaconf doesn't always do the job, which means you may have to 
go and edit the configuration file /etc/alsa/modutils/1.0 (probably) by 
'hand' that is, using a text editor. It's not particularly difficult, but you 
do need to read the available documentation first.

Then read these, in fact you should apt-get the first one from the debian 
archives.
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/reference.en.html
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-roadmap1.html?ca=dgr-lnxw82Win2LinP1

Reading is a Good Thing(TM).
