Until the modularized sound drivers are deployed with Debian
there's little point in providing sound pre-compiled; it would
match exactly one configuration of one sound card.
Red Hat have modularized drivers with 5.0, but from what I could see
of their sound configuration tool (which supports only the PnP SB),
their modularization patches are different to the ones used in
Linux 2.1.
