Whichever ones you want it to.

2.4 kernels come only with OSS drivers as far as I know.  Do an "apt-cache 
search alsa" and you'll see modules for alsa that can be installed if that is 
what you want.  If you're running kernel-image-2.4.22-1-686 then you would 
have to "apt-get install alsa-modules-2.4.22-1-686".

If you're running the 2.6 kernel you get your choice of alsa or oss drivers.
