Based on a very quick search SBZ support was added to the Kernel in version in 4,19 however it seems to suffer from a bug where only digital output works unless you install ALSA Mixer to control volumes.

Not possible, you need to use the package manager to install it and its specific to what distro you're using. Google will be able to tell you.
