	Hm.  I forgot about adding the "hints.*"; but catenating
	/dev/sndstat indicates that I use snd_sb16.ko and compiling that
	in gives me a bunch of fatal undefines.  So I added "snd_sbc"
	to the KERNCONF and am recompiling.  

	Shouldn't be this hard; this worked with REdhat, just
	straightaway.  ....
