read the changelogs, specifically the ones concerning sound stuffs in

cat /proc/ioports reveals:
0530-0533 : WSS config
0534-0537 : MS Sound System
/proc/interupts disturbs from under a rock:
9: 1 XT-PIC MS Sound System

Comment: http://mp3.com/ Genre: Unknown
Playing MPEG stream from every_os_sucks.mp3 ...
MPEG 1.0 layer III, 64 kbit/s, 44100 Hz stereo
I guess sound works.
kernel config:
OSS sound modules
MSS sound system == module
mpu401 == module
