ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) is a sound system for Linux and provides device drivers for sound cards.
Linux was using OSS (Open Sound System) before and there is new one called PULSE.
Anyway ALSA is a default sound system for sidux and Debian in this moment.
For sound devices managing we'll use sound mixers.
