Ok, after recompiling and rebooting, yes, soundcore did show up in
modconf.  And no, it still doesn't make any sound.  And /proc/sound
still looks great with the exception of the absence of anything at all
under "Installed drivers" and "Card config". 

I made the experiment of installing 'sndconfig' from unstable.  I
remember using it on a RH 6.0 install.  It seems to basically do
everything I already did, to no improvement.  

I've been searching the debian-user archives.  Haven't found a fix
yet.  May just give up on sound.
