In debian I tried apt-get install alsa which chuntered along and did its 
stuff, but didn't suggest what I should do to use it. When I try to use 
kde control center to select ALSA I get an 'Informational arts message' 
'Error while initialising the sound driver: device: default can't be 
opened for playback (No such device)".

OK I'll give it a whirl.
