^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I believe that this is the problem. In 2.1 kernels with modularized sound you
need to load the module specific to your sound card, for example with the sound
blaster you need to do a "modprobe sb". That should load sound and all the
other required modules. If you want this to work with kerneld/kmod then add
"alias char-major-14 sb" to your /etc/conf.modules
