It exists in Woody, which is the "beta" version of Debian.
Try doing this:

edit /etc/apt/sources.list

comment out every line (put # signs in front of them) and then add:

deb ftp://ftp.uwa.edu.au/mirrors/linux/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.uwa.edu.au/mirrors/linux/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free


Then save & exit that file, and run:

apt-get update
apt-get install sndconfig

This will take some time on a modem.

When it's finished, run sndconfig.  It configures most popular soundcards
automatically.
