I use Alsa in my stage 1 and it is compiled as a module in my kernel. All that you need to do is make sure that you have Alsa configured as a module in your kernel config file (note: do not forget to add modules for your audio hardware), and in your stage 1 spec file add alsa to the livecd/use: flags and also add alsa-utils to the livecd/packages list. Also make sure that you are NOT trying to load the alsa-driver package in your stage 1, it is one or the other and not both. That is all there is to it.
