I assume ALSA is in modules on your system... try strings on your snd.o file.

$ strings /lib/modules/2.4.19-rc3-ac4/misc/snd.o | grep '^Sound Driver'
Sound Driver:3.8.2-980706 (ALSA v0.5.12a emulation code)

                                 ^^^^^^^ that's the version

To compile the latest modules you would have to grab the latest sources
of ALSA, untar them, run `./configure', then `make', and finally `make
install'.

To get the sources go to...  http://www.alsa-project.org
