EH? Sound module support works just fine. You might need to do
a make menuconfig rather than config to access this option, though.
It's not too practical (IMHO) to include a sound module in the standard
kernel distribution, because unlike other drivers, all the sound
drivers get compiled togethe as you pick them at compile time in
the sound.o. OSS/Linux (the commercial version) uses separate drivers
but I guess that's what you're paying for.
