So it means that i have to recompile the kernel right?

That is what the ALSA instructions say. Someone else may have
some hack, but I always just follow the instructions.

But the kernel is already recompiled to 2.6.11.2 ... maybe i did something wrong..
In the SOUND i have this:
<*> Sound card support
In the ADVANCED LINUX SOUND ARCHITETURE:
<*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
<*> Sequencer support
< > Sequencer dummy client
<*> OSS Mixer API
<*> OSS PCM (digital audio) API [*] OSS Sequencer API
[ ] Verbose printk
[ ] Debug
And my ac97 in PCI DEVICES:
<M> VIA 82C686A/B, 8233/8235 AC97 Controller
Do i need to change anything? Is this enought? What should i do?

I believe you can issue "make xconfig" and just change the line
Sound card support from a check mark to a dot -- the check means
Y for built in, and the dot means M for module. And if you only change
something else to modules, this is what I believe -- but check this
and make sure it's true. I have never tried it, but with the 2.6.x
kernels if you just change something to modules, I think you can issue
$ make modules
# make modules_install
and then reboot and you will be okay.
Here is the sound portion of my 2.6.7 kernel's .config if it would
help you to look and compare to yours. You will need the VIA82XX
instead of the EMU10K1 I have for my Audigy.
