Well, I was able to get around the problems I was having in beta{2,3}
with sound on my VAIO laptops (ymfpci kernel module) by hacking
modules.conf, but I am having *NO* luck in doing so in beta4!
No matter what kernel I boot into, devfs or not, I can't get any sound.
The only adjustment aumix has is for Mic. Not good. The kernel
module's loaded (using the default method as well as the work-around I
had for the earlier beta releases) and '/etc/init.d/{alsa,sound} status'
both say that sound's loaded.
In my case, with the stock 2.4.18-2mdk kernel, there _is_
/dev/{dsp,mixer}, but no /dev/sound or /dev/asound (if that matters).
Quite frustrating.
