You should go to
http://alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=ESS+Technology&card=ES18xx&chip=ES18xx&module=es18xx
it shows step by step how to compile it. You would need to have put 
./configure --with-cards=es18xx --with-sequencer=yes
for your particular card before doing make and make install.
