If alsa does not work probably the problem is with alsa and not with debian dont you think ?

What do you mean by bloat? I am using woody, in woody packages are not so lagged behind. I used Eduard Bloch's woody net install disks http://people.debian.org/~blade/XFS-Install/ and they worked preatty much ok.

I use debian 70% of the time, the other 30% i use red hat, digital unix (now compaq true64), mandrake and i have no problem.
