But I already have the correct entries in modules.conf, since that's what enables es1370.o to load, I assume. I'd like to avoid modifying things that are already working - and both sound.o and es1370.o are being loaded now.
I use a PCI card that needs es1371 and soundcore to enable sound in my machine. If you don't get any sound then what you load is not enough.
The doc in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/es1370 says that the es1370 driver doesn't support .au files without the assistance of extra software (timidity).
Sorry about that, try something else, find a .wav file and pipe it to the /dev/dsp device, the above was just an example.
Is there anything in the ALSA package (I assume SuSE includes it, right?) that does what OSS soundon does?
I think there are three ways of setting up sound: the kernel modules, OSS and ALSA. If you use the kernel modules, the file modules.conf that is distributed with SuSE contains a section to set up the es3070 driver. If you use OSS (you have to buy, install and configure it), then it loads its own drivers with soundon (this is as of a few months ago, I stopped using it.) If using ALSA, install the rpms from the SuSE CDs and run 'alsaconf'. After it finds the card it sets up modules.conf and adds init scripts to load the driver at boot.
