Add yourself to the group 'audio' and re-logon.

By the way, you need to replace bf2.4, this kernel is for fail-safe 
installation only :-)

Now install a real one:
$apt-cache search kernel-image
then choose the one which conforms you CPU and apt-get it.

Let me know if you need to configure ISDN with Debian :-)
Solving this task, I had to look through German mailing lists, despite I 
couldn't understand a word except for config parameters :-)
