There is a sound howto that I used to check some of the stuffs out to
make sure my sound was working right... my biggest problem was
permissions on my /dev/audio and /dev/dsp devices (everyone needed to
get to them as sound really is just a buffer of "stuff" going out).

I didn't really *follow* the howto as I beleive some details are
missing, I just used some of their diagnostics to figure out if I had
sound going in the right direction.
We compiled the sb16 crap into our kernel along with the OSS sound
stuffs (running debian2.2) and it works great (now, I did have to do
some 'work' to get it here).
