I'm not sure why you'd want this file. The only catch with running

Did you set both "Sound card support" and "/dev/dsp and /dev/audio

I copied the file to /root, called it sound.configuration, edited out
the surrounding text, chmod u+x so it's executable and typed
./sound.configuration (I think). Remember that . is not in root's path
