I don't know whether you are correct or not :) It includes all the
drivers shipped with the standatrd Devuan kernel (including alsa), but
being a minimal image it does not have alsa-utils or other
sound-related amenities (yet!).

More info and package lists can be found here:

http://devuan.kalos.mine.nu

but please consider that those images still require 256 MB of RAM to
boot (I have not yet uploaded the new images, which boot with 80 MB on
i386 and 96MB on amd64).

Since the new images have now been stripped down further, thanks to
the suggestion of using xz for the squashfs, I am now considering
proposals for potential additions. I already have in the wishlist fbi,
fbterm, mc, and a few more ncurses and fb-based utils, but including a
basic support for sound might not be a bad idea, indeed.
