There is something to be said for a PCI sound card. I have no
aliases for sound modules or entries in modules.conf. I have only one
line i added to /etc/modules : es1371. This loads a single sound module
to run my Creative 4812 PCI Ensoniq Sound Card (cost $22).
Sound works out of the box , nothing else needed, as a matter of
fact when i listen to cd's i just put a cd in and listen to the music.
No need to even start a program for playing cd's.
