Which version of ALSA did that distribution have? It's 1.0.21 in the 
version of Debian I'm trying to install.

It's an Intel S5520C. With "HD 7.1 channel audio support" and the codec 
is ALC889. I've spent hours researching this and am not sure how to 
proceed, so any suggestions would help a lot.
