I wouldn't trust 2.4.0, especially given that Linux kernels a.b.c for
c << 10 have historically had problems and that 2.4.1 is already out.
OTOH, I use 2.2.18 without problems here, including ALSA.

I would:
-- Download the 2.2.18 source from your favorite mirror. Skip the
Debian package for the kernel source.
-- Install the Debian alsa-source package.
-- Install the Debian kernel-package package and read its
documentation.
-- Unpack the kernel source anywhere. cd into the directory. Use
your favorite variant of 'make config' to configure it, and
'make-kpkg' with appropriate arguments to build Debian packages of
both the kernel and ALSA ('make-kpkg modules_image' works for me).
-- Install the resulting packages. Reboot.
