The dependencies between alsa-modules and the pre-compiled kernel images implies to me I need to build my own alsa-modules. So, I fetch alsa-source and start following the README. It produces a custom alsa-modules package. But, it is dependent on alsa-base, alsa-utils, and libasound2... which are dependent on the default kernel images.
