I got the alsa-source package, it will put a source tar.gz in your /usr/src
directory. Unpacking the tar will give you /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver,
compile from there and install.

I have attached my apt sources.list which will give you access to all debian
packages plus some others. You also want the preferences and apt.conf files.
The preferences file ensures that you don't upgrade a package unless you want
to and the apt.conf file increases apts cache-limit which will be need with
the large number of packages you will be looking at.
Going to testing is as easy as `apt-get -t testing upgrade` although you might
have to run through it a few times.
All of this comes with the standard disclaimer: This may not be the best way
or the right way of doing things, but it works for me.
