To support all the various sound modules, there are three general
support modules that must be loaded first:
soundcore.o: Top level handler for the sound system, provides
a set of functions for registration of devices
by type.
soundlow.o: Low-level sound drivers which are not part of
OSS/Lite (Open Sound System), including SB32/AWE
synthesizer, etc.
sound.o: Common sound functions required by all modules

The sound modules are not part of the kernel configuration options, they are compiled
if you select support for sound cards. If you compiled the kernel with
the sound support for your sound card you have to run
make modules
make modules_install
and the compiled modules will appear in /lib/modules/x.x.x/ where x.x.x is the
kernel version that you compiled. In particular the sound modules will appear in
/lib/modules/x.x.x./sound
