Hrmph, on a pII 266 laptop I never expected the sound chipset to not be
pnp or pci.  Oh well,  it works when I specify the addresses and stuff
using /boot/device.hints (-current as of last night) but using the modules
doesnt quite work.  I loaded snd_pcm and snd_sbc and it only detected the
sound part, not the pcm needed to make it actually *do* something :)
