11 They're all modules:

13 $ lsmod | grep snd
14 snd_seq_oss 23781 0
15 snd_seq_midi_event 4540 1 snd_seq_oss
16 snd_seq 42949 4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
17 snd_seq_device 4405 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq
18 snd_pcm_oss 30573 0
19 snd_mixer_oss 12406 1 snd_pcm_oss
20 snd_hda_codec_via 24586 0
21 snd_hda_intel 17746 5
22 snd_hda_codec 44688 2 snd_hda_codec_via,snd_hda_intel

26 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer
27 soundcore 4447 1 snd
28 snd_page_alloc 5937 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm

30 The sound works fine except that KDE can't detect the hardware; it wants to
31 forget about the Intel HDA device permanently. (I don't let it.)
32
33 But by the time I come to log off, it's working happily with sound - at any
34 rate, I get the log-off tune.

36 Curiouser and curiouser.
