SubjectRe: 2.1.102: Sound driver

Yes, Alan Cox has a patch for this in the Linux Kernel Patch incoming
queue (patch #80). I'm hoping this gets into 2.1.104. It's badly
needed.

There's a simpler patch to drivers/Makefile: delete that paragraph
and simply put 'sound' into ALL_SUB_DIRS. That's part of Alan's
patch #80.

CONFIG_LOWLEVEL_SOUND should be a bool.
