This could have several reasons:
1. It is the wrong driver. 2. The driver is already loaded in the kernel (unlikely, since you haven't tried to build the ALSA-enabled kernel yet, have you?). 3. OSS-modules in the kernel (ALSA and OSS compete for your soundcard, OSS wins 'cause it was there first) 4. OSS-support in the kernel (see above).
My best bet would be 1.
