I think it would be a bad idea to put sound in GENERIC, not so much
because the concept is a bad idea, but because there are a huge number
of sound chips on the market with varying levels of compatibility and
complexity and probing for them in GENERIC could result in GENERIC not
working on as wide a range of machines as it would otherwise. When
I install on a workstation, I always install without sound first to
get the thing working, then I mess around with the sound drivers.
