Re: soudblaster live and modules in general

I think you need to run "make modules" and "make modules_install" from the
same directory as the other make commands ("make config" and so on).  The
purpose of this is to create the stuff needed for "sound as a module." 

I'm not real familiar with sound, so that's about all I can say.  I hope
that helps.
