Cedric,

I'm running gentoo 2.6.12-gentoo-r9_no_sound  (the _no_sound is my local 
suffix.)

Here's part of my .config.

#
# Sound
#
CONFIG_SOUND=m

#
# Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
#
# CONFIG_SND is not set

#
# Open Sound System
#
# CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME is not set


I emerge the alsa-driver from gentoo, along with alsa-lib, alsa-utils, 
alsa-tools and alsa-oss.  I imagine that the alsa devs or Debian 
packagers have a way of applying the latest alsa driver to your kernel; 
ask at alsa.

alsa-utils comes with a startup script for alsa.  For compiling 
alsa-driver, I specify only snd_intel8x0.  My modem is not open source 
supported.  I don't know, in  any case, that snd_intel8x0m is required 
in your sound settings.
