Get the 2.4.25-multimedia kernel from AGNULA
add this to your sources list:
deb http://apt.agnula.org/demudi testing main local extra
read this:
http://www.agnula.org/download/demudi/1.2.0-FAQ/
and http://wiki.agnula.org for further advice
It's by far the fastest way to get a working audio system with Debian.
