If norm. kernel sound modules are compiled in, and ALSA is compiled as
modules, can ALSA still work? And if so, how?

Thanks

Usually, if one driver detects the supported hardware, it'll grab the
resources and would control the hardware afterwards, so If your hardware
is supported by normal kernel sound drivers, ALSA will refuse to load
because IRQ and IO Addr of your sound hardware is registered to normal
kernel driver.
