ALSA
I notice in another thread there are reports of some problems building ALSA
because of perl changes in sid aka unstable. This might be relevant to
your problems.
FIREWALL
Each of the last 3 kernels has employed a different firewalling scheme, so
a firewall setup that worked in 2.2 may not work in 2.4. However, there
are some references to a backward compatibility mode in 2.4, so maybe 2.2
firewalls will work. Also, many of the tools to build a firewall for
novices are probably not caught up with the latest scheme.
I'm thinking of the change myself, so I'm curious about these issues
also. Notice the use of "may" in the preceding: I'm not sure of this info.

I read through the changelist over on alsa-project.org and noticed
that one of the changes was to 'support the latest kernels.' I suspect
you should use the alsa-source from sid since it's in the .5 range,
whereas woody is still a .4 release.
Luckily, I found a soundcard in another computer that's directly
supported by the kernel source, so I didn't have to worry about alsa
with this computer.
