	I just spent most of the weekend fighting this problem. I have it mostly
	working, but I will be the first one to tell you I don;t understand waht's
	going on.

	First some background. I installed a minimal "stba;e" system, and then pointed
	my pt sources to the Progeny site. Then I did an upgrade to thier RC1. After
	this everything worked like a charm!

	However, somewhere along the way i broke it :-(

	At this point in time I have it back wrkign for everything but xmcd, but I have
	decided to use the Gnome CD player applet so this is OK.

	Having said all of this let me tell you where my system is. First lsmod shows
	_no_ sound modules. Seconf I have loaded the alsa packages, including
	esound_also. Rhird I still get compaints at boot time obout no sound cards
	being cconfigured. I have traced this to tha alsa startup (rc) scripts. I have
	run alsaconfig, but I don't know which card to select for my card, which is the
	same as yours.

	However, as I said, pretty much everything (including Gnome sound events) is
	working.

	Hope this helps.
