Not to detract from ALSA, but do you really need it? I think you are chasing a goose and it is leading you on a merry chase. Your first posting said only that you installed debian and did not have sound. You need to install a sound driver. I do not believe you need to install ALSA at this point. You may want to install ALSA for other reasons. But why go to all of that trouble right now? It will just need a lot of installation details and lead you to believe that setting up sound on debian requires that. But it does _not_ require it. If you install debian and want sound then you need to install a sound driver. Check the hardware with 'lspci' or 'lspci -v' or 'less /proc/pci' and match your sound hardware to a driver and install the driver. Wish that was done automatically. But it is not and you have to do it manually. (I have not been able to get kudzu or sndconfig to work for me.) Here are different combinations that have been effective for me. The combinations are many and I hate to even start listing them but I feel that the examples will increase the potential for understanding. On a Creative Labs Live!
