   Thanks!  What I did was commend out that line in the modules.conf
(/etc/modules/ALSA) file.  Lo and behold, I'm getting sound. Don't know if
everything's set up right, but I'm playing .wav & .mid apparently OK.

   It did.  Now I need to figure out how to get the CD player working.  I
have a IDE-SCSI set-up for my CD-ROM and CD-RW, but can't seem to get
KDE's CD Player (or XMMS or anything else) to work.  Possibly a bad
permission on the /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1.

   But that's another list.  :-)

   Thanks for your help!
