Here it works too and I have exactly the same modules. Make sure you have
these modules, otherwise you'll have to rebuild the kernel or maybe only
the modules. You'll have to run "alsamixer" to adapt the volume and
"alsacfg store" both as root.
If you want sound while browsing using thunderbird you'll have to start
firefox with "/opt/kde/bin/artsdsp /directory/where/you/installed/firefox"
