I don't know, but it's mentioned in the module documentation in the kernel
tree.  The critical test is `lsmod' ;)

Since SuSE 6.1 (the first release with a 2.2 kernel), the stock kernels have
had all of the necessary sound modules included in the kernmod.rpm package. 
I'm not sure what you mean by `long download', since everything you need is on
the CDs.  If you must recompile your own kernel, make sure that Sound is a
module and that es1370 support is a module.  You don't need anything else
because the es137x doesn't even have a MIDI sequencer...

According to SuSE's documentation, boot.local is the preferred file for
editing *local* configuration changes.
