Hi everyone,

Using the MUSIX kernel solved the problem with the "sound card."  Sound now 
works--YIPEE!!!  Many thanks for all the good suggestions.

Now I need to compile some kernel modules for VirtualBox so I need the kernel 
source.  Of course, it is not listed in synaptic, so now I'm in the position 
of rebooting between configurations that use sound and one where I can use 
VirtualBox.

More suggestions?
