Do you have the appropriate driver in your kernel? Is you 2.4.18 kernel a stock Debian one, or did you compile it yourself? If it is a Debian kernel, then I guess it will be compiled as a module. As root: # modconf Select /kernel/drivers/sound Then scroll to see if the driver is there. If it is load it. If it is not there, you will have to compile a new kernel.

Sorry don't know about ALSA. But I guess that making sure you have the driver for your card will be the first step.
