alsaconf error

[Jude DaShiell]

A script file I saved of the session says alsaconf can't find or load snd. 
Might the snd stuff needed be in another package?  If not, I'm going to 
remove the whole alsa system and try to find a version I can build on this 
system.  I tried with the latest version and that failed because a sanity 
check failed for cpp in one of the packages, so I may have to start trying 
them out moving down the versions scale.
