[gobolinux-users] bemoaning the lack of sound

now I'm growing a liking for music, so the problem becomes urgent!

on my may-2007 Macbook, ubuntu feisty can still make sound and gobo 
still can't.  Now using Linux-2.6.23.8-r3, Udev-116-r2, 
ALSA-Lib-1.0.14a, ALSA-Utils-1.0.14.  Maybe upgrade alsa to 1.0.15? 
Maybe use ALSA-Driver versions of drivers?(how is that done on gobo? - I 
didn't find any information by googling; currently I have no 
/Programs/ALSA-Driver)

I note that from `dmesg` on Gobo I find

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.14 (Fri Jul 20 
09:12:58 2007 UTC).
ALSA device list:
   No soundcards found.

whereas on ubuntu feisty, searching `dmesg` I find no mention at all of 
"ALSA" or "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture", which seems odd, since 
sound works and it's a modern linux... and its dmesg looks full enough 
of random stuff that I doubt it's being censored for verbosity reasons, 
since lots of other things aren't being censored...
