that's the way to do it. if you see something labelled alsa-0.5, shoot
first, ask questions later :)

watch out for the changes in module names: what used to be
snd-card-<yourcard> is now just snd-<yourcard>. edit /etc/modules.conf
accordingly.
and do a depmod -ae after installing the new alsa drivers just to be
sure - if you get "unresolved symbols" in alsa-related modules, there is
a problem.
