If you want to know if alsa is already running on your system do 'cat /proc/asound/version' or 'cat /proc/asound/cards' If this fails, maybe it is installed but not loaded. Try executing /etc/init.d/alsa status as root. If this fails, then your system is not running ALSA-lib. Besides the kernel options (see below), you need to install and add alsa-lib to your boot sequence. If you're familiar with kernel building, see the kernel config. Disable OSS and enable ALSA. Do not forget to enable snd-usb-audio. And disable Drivers/usb/usb-midi and usb-audio (both are OSS drivers which otherwise will conflict with the ALSA snd-usb-audio module).
