[plug] Sound card

[Kai]

Hmmm, I've rebooted the machine (yes I know it sounds like a Windows
trick...) and even after respecifying the full path of the binfmt_aout.o
module is doesn't want recognise it anymore

This is in my /etc/conf.modules file (among other things)

options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=0 mpu_io=0x330
alias binfmt-0064 /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/fs/binfmt_aout.o
alias sound-slot-0 sb

After the reboot, the audio server doesn't want to work.
Does it matter what order these options go in?
Oh well, back to the drawing board....
