Can someone offer insight as to why my ./configure ended with the 
message about ESounD?  This is probably why my existing installation 
has no sound, yes?

(FYI: my YDL 3.0 installation didn't seem to have a 
"/lib/modules/2.4.20-8d/build/include/linux/config.h" directory, but 
I was able to get around this with a symbolic link to 
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8e/include in /lib/modules/2.4.20-8d/build/. 
This appears to have placated the configure script.)
