you might want to try:
apt-get install alsa-base alsa-modules-2.4.20-686
(or whichever modules package reflects the kernel you are using...)
Thanks to StevenK's new debconf config script ALSA install is a breeze
After this has been installed you will find that
a) the volume is muted, use alsamixer to put your volume levels up.
b) you will need to add your user to the audio group with:
adduser <user> audio
you will then need to COMPLETELY log off and log back in to have that
take effect.
Good Luck
Adam.
