Not quite there yet.  I fixed the dependencies - thanks Paul, but now
when I try to play a sound, the modules try to autoload, and fail with
the following messages:

rplayd[6410]: connect from localhost
insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.13/misc/sb.o: init_module: Device or resource
busy
insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.13/misc/sb.o: insmod char-major-14 failed
kernel: Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996
kernel: sb: dsp reset failed.
rplayd[6413]: warning: can't get client address: Resource temporarily
unavailable
rplayd[6413]: refused connect from unknown

I saw a reference to this error in the archive, but I am afraid I
don't understand what to do to fix it.
