You didn't mention which branch of Debian you're using. If you happen to be using Sid, your best bet is to install a 2.4.25 kernel and then get the appropriate alsa-modules package. (Note that there's no compiling involved here, it's all precompiled.) If that's not an option, then all you need is the kernel-headers package for the bf24 kernel image, and the alsa-source. You do NOT need kernel-source. Then just read the documentation at /usr/share/doc/alsa-source to find out how to build and install the modules, and you'll be all set. Since you're using KDE, I believe you'll need to have one of the libarts packages installed. I'm not a KDE user though, so I'm not sure about that.
