Sound core is compiled as a module, as is ALSA, the OSS compatability
stuff, and my sound card driver, i8x0.  Sound section of .config is
attached.

It exhibits the same behavior as root.

Dmesg doesn't say anything at all about sound.  There's an alsa init
script that restores the mixer settings, and it runs without error.  I
can also run alsamixer, which detects the card correctly.  Everything
under /proc/asound looks ok, as far as I can tell.

It behaves exactly as if the sound is muted, but either it's not, or the
mixer is lying to me.

Thanks again for any help.
