alsaconf : ancient sound card and modern linux

got the old system's card running with the alsaconf utility

then ran kde's control center to reset the sound system.

Slax now running with the ancient non pnp soundcard

Dapper edubuntu 6.06 doesn't have alsaconf...
had to manually edit /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d/alsa_local, then modprobe snd-sb16
