Erm, not really.

Unfortunately Mandrake configures boot-up and modules in a very different way 
from Debian. Under Debian, ALSA gets started at the same time (S20) as 
cupsys, inetd, ssh, lpd and various other daemons in the second phase of the 
boot process. If you have a sysVinit editor or similar that you use to 
control the startup of services, you should be able to control ALSA in a 
similar manner. Alternatively you might be able to insert a local script into 
the boot process to control it.

Other than that I'm stumped.

sorry not to be any more help
