Aaron,
I have a 4200 with Debian Potato and the sound works great. As far as I know we
have the same sound hardware. I installed sound support using ALSA modules which
I complied myself without incident. The modules I have installed are:
snd-card-ymfpci - The sound card driver
snd-pcm-oss - PCM/DSP support
These modules depend on many other modules. This site has lots of good info on
installing sound on our type of laptop:

which is linked from here:

I have a similar mouse configuration as you do, except that my middle button
works. :-)
here is my Pointer section from the XF86Config file:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "PS/2"
Device "/dev/mouse"
BaudRate 1200
Emulate3Timeout 50
EndSection
/dev/mouse points to /dev/psaux . Note that in this configuration I can not use a
3rd button with the eraser head as emulate 3-buttons is off. Also, if I start
gpm at boot time my machine locks (or appears to at least). I think this is a
pcmcia IRQ probing issue but I haven't really looked into it. Turning gpm off
did the trick for me.
