(second attempt, had forgotten to copy the list)
The driver is a kernel module, not usually a package. Try
modprobe snd-opl3sa2
and/or
modprobe snd-opl3-lib
and/or
modprobe snd-opl3-synth
I don't have a kernel as recent as 3.7.10. Debian Wheezy's
kernel 3.2.0-4 has snd-opl3-{lib,synth} kernel modules. An old
remaster of TinyCore with kernel 3.0.3 has snd-opl3sa2,
snd-opl3-lib and snd-opl3-synth.
To see if kernel modules might differ with your kernel, do 'find
lib/modules -name '*opl3*.ko*'. If no luck there, check your
kernel's config to see whether the OPL3 drivers were enabled.
Regarding compiling from source, is there a file with a name
similar to 'bootstrap'? Sometimes that is a precursor to
./configure. If there's an INSTALL or README* file, that often
contains compilation instructions.
