Thanks for that hint.

A search on alsa-source has 0 matches. All I found was instructions 
starting with downloading something from the ALSA-homepage.

So I started to read the README in the alsa-source package and followed 
its instructions. Honestly I did not really understand what I did, but 
somehow I found my way to a deb.-package. Here are the steps:

# apt-get install alsa-source

# apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686

# apt-get install ncurses-dev

$ less /usr/share/doc/alsa-source/README.Debian

# dpkg-reconfigure alsa-source
   -->choose azx as driver

# apt-get install fakeroot

# cd /usr/src

# tar jxf alsa-driver.tar.bz2

# cd linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686

# make-kpkg --rootcmd=fakeroot --append-to-version=-5-686 \  modules-image

# dpkg -i \  alsa-modules-2.6.10-5-686_1.0.8-4ubuntu4+10.00.Custom_i386.deb

I got no error-message - so it seems to install - but what now?! How can 
I "activate" this module now?

TIA, Ingo.
