I've installed a vanilla kernel on 5 machines...  and have only had to 
play with the sound on 3 of them.  

Download the:  libs, drivers, utilities  from www.alsa-project.org  and 
do a  ./configure, make, make install on each of them (after you've 
booted to the new kernel) and you'll be all set.
