It's been a while since I dealt with Mandrake...not sure if the kernel recompile requires different steps than with gentoo or slackware....
For starters, ALSA plugin is probably not working because Mandrake uses OSS by default. My suggestion is that you should disable OSS and go all ALSA (with OSS support if needed). This link should be extremely helpful with installing ALSA with your specific card:

about your PCMCIA problem....I have no clue...
But those problems are usually caused by incorrect settings in the kernel or something that your card needs is disabled
