Where did you get your 2.4.27-3-386 kernel from?
I have an Audigy2 soundblaster on Sarge that I've just upgraded to Etch, which works fine.
The Sarge kernels were 2.4.27-2-386 which also requires alsa-modules-2.4.27-2-386 to be installed. I also have kernel version 2.6.8-3-386 installed, plus later kernels that are available for Etch
If you look on synaptic, the Alsa stuff that needs to be installed is alsa-base, alsa-utils, and alsa-oss (if you have audio apps that are insisting on using OSS).
The 2.6 kernels do not need a separate alsa-modules package to be installed.
If you run alsaconf as root, and this runs to completion, you should get something from running.
cat /proc/asound/cards
and
cat /proc/asound/version
This is what you should be getting from running lsmod | grep snd
[djmons@localhost djmons]$ ssh 192.168.0.7

Sound can be a bit of a problem, and I've had to work through this, but you eventually get there.
Always take notes on pencil and paper, as to how you have fixed it.
