When you use the planet all of these things are included. The kernel is patched, ALSA is there, all of the apps just download and work. You *do* need to make sure you get the kernel source but it's there as well. As I said before, the only apps that I build from scratch are JACK, Ardour, and JAMin. The only reason I build JAMin from scratch is because I work on the code. Otherwise, I'd just download it from the planet as well. Having built everything from scratch before I can tell you that the planet not only is easier but that it does things the right way.
