The manual way:
from your RedHat install, find out which modules your sound card is using and 
use modprobe on Debian. Then watch the boot process and make sure alsa is 
starting OK. Watch for a /dev/dsp warning box on X startup - you might need 
to change the permissions on /dev/dsp.

The apt way:
calvin:/home/neil# apt-cache search sndconfig
sndconfig - Easy soundcard configuration
# apt-get install sndconfig

You can find out about any package using apt-cache search - use partial names 
too.
