Your kernel is 2.6.17. Its alsa driver is too older.

It looks as though I have to wait to try kernel 2.6.24 as in debian unstable. When I have a fast internet connection one day, I shall try this. It is not practical or affordable to upgrade over GPRS.
You can build alsa-driver modules externally. It's more standard procedure for debugging sound problems. Just configure and install as usual. See alsa-driver/INSTALL for details.
In your case, maybe better to try alsa-driver daily snapshot tarball than 1.0.16. See alsa-driver.project web page.
Oh, thanks. Sounds intimidating, but I'll see if I can manage that.
ll it matter if I do it with the 2.6.17 rather than 2.6.18 kernel, as the .18 flavour breaks ACPI on my box?
