No, no, no! Mandrake already comes with alsa (and the 0.9.0 alsa, not the older 0.4..). Just try something like
urpmi alsa-utils
That will install the alsa utilities *and* all the dependencies. You'll still need to setup your modules.conf (draksound will do this for you), but alsa works fine with Mandrake.
