You should have the sourcecode used to compile your current kernel in 
/usr/src/linux or - if you generated kernel packages - your custom 
kernel-headers package.  You should not have the standard kernel-headers 
package installed.  So remove it and either make /usr/src/linux a symlink 
to /usr/src/linux-2.4.xx or install the custom header package.

That may not solve your problem, though.  IIRC, you have to compile and 
install the 3 alsa components (library, modules and binaries) in a 
specific order and problems like the one you describe crop up if you 
don't.
