I'm confused as well...I was replying to your earlier post today in which you 
stated...
"Yesterday I compiled a kernel with ALSA support for my card compiled in.
I booted with that kernel yesterday and everything worked great. Today
when I booted into Linux I got errors when alsasound tried to start.
Here are the errors:"

"Compiled in" says to me that you built your kernel with alsa support built 
in, sorry if I misunderstood.
