sound card recogintion?

Fri Aug 1 12:11:00 2003

thanks all for the input, this worked. posting here for future 
searchers to find.
one thing that i did discover is that  modprobe  won't be recognized 
without it's path. i had to type /sbin/modprobe  thingstuff    every 
time...

now to figure out if i can compile alsa in YDL...

anybody get that happening with the dmasound_pmac built in card?
