Look on http://www.freshrpms.net for stuff like that.
And use the excellent apt for rpm tools, and the graphical front end,
'synaptiic' if you like.

Have a look at http://shrike.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=480

Use apt-for-rpm to install to make sure all dependeincies met etc.

Or compile up your own kernel, and make your own RPMs!
I'm not being facetious - that's how one learns things.
But you just want your sound working - so quite rightly, use RPMs,
and the Freshrpms site.
