If you do a full install with 9.1, ALSA is installed by default.  See
http://www.slackware.com for news on this implementation.

One thing to note, is that I used kernel 2.4.22.  This kernel is located on
the CD, and when you get to the installation question about which kernel to
use, select default.

Basically just make sure you select the 2.4.22 kernel.
