[lug] How do you make sound work?

[Glenn Murray]

Thanks for the response.  When I had a RH5.2, I was able to get
Linus's lesson on pronouncing Linux to come out of the speakers.
However, sndconfig does not appear to be a Debian package, so it must
work some other way.  It seems there should be a KDE way to do this...
