My .config alsa section from 2.6.0-test8-mm1 is shown below, but you might like to say "Y" to more items than I did, and in the subsequent sound sections, say "Y" for your particular hardware. Then you should emerge alsa-utils and probably alsa-mixer, but don't emerge the Gentoo alsa drivers, because the 2.6 kernel provides those itself.
