I can't remember having to do that to get sound working... thus any CRUX release since 2.0) uses module-init-tools, so the ALSA howto seems to have been written for older kernels. Here's a hint which should help you to find the answer to the question yourself. Both howto's mention 'modprobe' to load modules, which comes with a fine man page.
