I did an:

apt-get source alsa-source
dpkg-buildpackage
dpkg -i alsa-base_1.0.11-3lxtec1.deb linux-sound-base_1.0.11-3lxtec1.deb

and experienced lock-ups with 2.6.17 but not with 2.6.16 kernel.

If you want me to build a custom 2.6.17 kernel with 1.0.11-3lxtec1 ALSA
modules I will need a few more instructions. I've built a few kernels
under Debian in the past, but was a bit stumped by how to do it with 2.6.17.
