problem configuring sb16 and alsa

[Igor Gueths]

Hi Greg. I don't use modules.conf, I have a script which loads my sound modules. Also, don't install your modules in /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound tree, because this is in conformance with the kernel 2.5.x tree. I have found that 2.4.18 has problems with this. What I did was build the code as follows: ./configure --with-oss=yes --moddir=/lib/modules/2.4.18/misc. I created the misc directory manually. I then wrote a script that loads the sound module, and runs alsactl to restore the previously saved mixer configuration.
