You should add "sound" to /etc/modules (it actually is explained in my
howto in great detail. I won't bite you, but please read it again, perhaps
it is now clearer how things work together).
The automatic kernel loading by kerneld will remove all settings from the
sound module, so you should really add the line, so the sound module will
never be unloaded (except you explicitely do so).

There are default fonts on your card, but they need to be activated by a
dummy sound font bank. As this ships with the sound card, it is no
problem. However, it can't be included in the module due to obvious
copyright problems.
Thank you,
