Hallo,

If I wasn't an HTML expert I wouldn't have understood what you wrote

You need all packages except probably alsa-oss. alsa-driver contains
the sorce code for the driver modules, alsa-lib contains common functions
used by programs written for ALSA and alsa-utils contains invaluable
tools like alsamixer, which you need to turn up the volume. 

If you really want to compile everything from source and not use
your distribution's package, it is recommended that you look up your
card in the ALSA soundcard matrix at
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ and then follow the instructins
behind the "Details" link. They also mention which package to use and
how to do that.

I hope this can help you.

ciao
