That is a very good suggestion. I haven't tried that yet but I have a couple of USB sound cards that have worked well on this very system in the past. For those who are curious, I usually have another older P.C. running it's debian kernel with speakup enabled for a talking terminal and then I ssh to other systems or use ckermit to a serial console on them to do work so only one computer needs to talk. If you have a serial console, one can communicate with a unix system that is very, very sick even if it can't get on to the network right now. Now that wheezy boots up, I can go to single-user mode to make backup copies of the boot drive and since this is wheezy, the device nodes are much more sane and dd doesn't make you wonder if you are trashing your master copy instead of copying it to a safe place.
