I'm good for now.
As was suggested above you may get better luck building the alsa drivers as
modules. Although I had my sound card driver built in the kernel for the
last 2-3 years, I had to revert to building it as a module to get it to work
with kernel 2.6.27-gentoo-r6/8.
The main reason for building the sound drivers as modules is so that
alsaconf can find and setup your sound card for you.
