You have 2 choices: the kernel sound, which works fine. Use sndconfig
to configure it.

alsa-conf or alsaconf there are a few alsa programs/packages you install
Both work. Depends on what card you have, which is better. For instance,
I have an i810 and the alsa is great, the kernel driver sucks.
Most common cards, I'd use the kernel first.... use Alsa for stuff
unsupported by the kernel.
