Whoops! Sorry, I should not have been writing from memory. The machine had 1.0.23 (? I think) and I upgraded it to 1.0.24 which I got from the alsa site.

There is no debian 1.0.24 package so I built the drivers manually, pulled all the snd-*ko files out of /lib/modules/$(uname -r), installed the new stuff, ran depmod and rebooted.

I know that's a Bad Thing To Do (tm) on a managed system but I was equally stuck and redoing those steps after every kernel update is a small price to pay.
