testing grml

[John G. Heim]

The grml developers removed sound at one point.  I'm not sure if any 
official release came without sound support but they were going to drop 
sound because they didn't consider it crucial for rescuing machines. They 
just forgot that blind people need sound.  The intended use for grml is to 
allow systems admins to rescue down machines so they are trying to strip out 
anything not necessary for that.

Anyway, like I said in another message, they put sound back and the fix for 
the muted sound card is already in the very latest download.

Now if we could only get VMWare to put sound & speakup in their esx and esxi 
kernels, then we'd really have something.
