modutils-2.4.9 is fairly old..  isn't it 2.4.19?

not the real solution but a workaround would be to change the
condition in alsa-driver/include/adriver.h line 322 like below

	/* vmalloc_to_page wrapper */
==>	#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 4, 19)
	struct page *snd_compat_vmalloc_to_page(void *addr);
	#define vmalloc_to_page(addr) snd_compat_vmalloc_to_page(addr)
	#endif

and the corresponding part definition in
alsa-driver/acore/memory_wrapper.c and
EXPORT_SYMBOL() in alsa-driver/acore/sound.c.

or, try 2.4.20 or later.  it's changed as without GPL suffix.
