As was mentioned one way is to use the "make uninstall" target in the
original source packages. 

Another trick I have used is to find _when_ one file of the installed
package was installed and then search the whole disk for files that were
changed on that exact date and time. It is a bit of overkill but you are
pretty sure that you uninstall everything. Obviously this cannot be
automated because there may be files (usually logs) that were also
changed around that time and you don't want to remove those...

For the alsa-driver package you could do:
  ls -l /lib/modules/2.4.22-2.ll.acpismp/kernel/sound/snd.o
this gives back (in my system):
 
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        60949 Aug 28 12:25
/lib/modules/2.4.22-2.ll.acpismp/kernel/sound/snd.o

So now you can do this:
  find / -xdev -ls | grep "Aug 28 12:2"

And you will get a list of files that were changed around 12:2* on that
day. You can do the same for the alsa-lib (check for the date of
/usr/lib//libasound*) and alsa-utils (check /usr/bin/aplay) packages
(you may also want to look in /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/bin if you
used the default install prefix).
