In simple shell syntax:
tar xvf alsa-lib-1.0.6.tar.gz
./configure
su -c "make install"

Yeah, it is the very configuration issue (and the very specific to
each sound card). You might need to modify the alsa-lib configuration
files to suit with the latest driver status after you instal the older
alsa-lib.
We don't guarantee that alsa-lib-1.0.9 configuration does work with
2.6.15 kernel and we don't dare to fix old releases. But the old
binary itself can communicate with the kernel without any problems.
Of course there were bugs in old alsa-lib, but it's irrelevant with
the topic here.
