Okay thanks.   Well, I just installed Squeeze with only 'laptop' and 'system tools' packages selected.  And....audio (usb/Audiobox) is working without any additional downloads, tweeks or anything.  So 
obviously something was missing in the server install.  Anyway, I'm just excited that this setup is looking good so far.
