Isn't it just the opposite? Under 2.0, I've always configured and compiled
the sound module separately, but when I used Slackware 3.0, the kernel
(v2.0.27) shipped with it had the SB driver compiled in, although I never
succeeded in configuring the sound driver in the kernel config. Under 2.2,
there's no opportunity for configuring and/or compiling the sound module
on its own, it's just like any other standard kernel driver. Too bad that
I couldn't get it working with my AD1848-based Aztech card, nor could I
compile the old driver for 2.2, so I'm still back on 2.0.37.
