It sounds like it.

The page on the ALSA Driver was removed when the ALSA drivers were
provided in the Linux kernel tree. We expect most folks to use
the in-tree drivers, and not the external package.

This probably has something to do with the in-tree drivers are
configured one way, and you're trying to configure the external
package a different way. Exactly why we don't cover the external
ALSA driver package. We don't want folks using it unless they
know what they are doing.
Note these results from two different systems:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~ > grep CONFIG_SND= /boot/config-2.6.16.14
CONFIG_SND=y
This shows both machine using the ALSA drivers compiled into the
kernel.
