Good, then the module is loads ok. Check if your audio device is listed
in /proc/asound/cards. If it is, check if ALSA sees it by running:

aplay --list-devices

Their version is the same as the kernel's version. This doesn't say
much.

The package manager only keeps track of actual packages (i.e. *.deb

(e.g. with "make install") is not recognized as a package. To the
system it's just a bunch of files.
