It works fine with the 2.4 kernel that comes with Severn but 2.6 just
results in silence.

Good question. I assume with 2.6 I should be trying ALSA but I will
take whatever will work.
2.6 defaults to ALSA which is supposed to have hooks for all the older OSS stuff. However,
ALSA mutes most of the channels by default.
Go to a terminal and type alsamixer. Move through the channels with the left and right
cursor keys and hit the spacebar to unmute the channels that you want open. ESC to save
and exit. Should work after that.
The only thing that doesn't work for me with sound in the test kernels is the PC
speaker and I can live without that ;))
