I don't use this card anymore but I think you had to insmod the opensound driver first.

Successive versions have different architectures so you just can't usea driver compiled for one kernel version on a different version as is. What you need to do is recompile it for your kernel version (2.2.20-idepci) I am ccing this message to the Debian users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) where someone might be able guide you through the process step-by-step. -- Jaldhar H.
