Not sure.  It seems to work fine here.

Are you using ALSA or OSS?  Best bet is ALSA.  You want something like:
        
        CONFIG_SND=y
        CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=y
        CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
        CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=y
        CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=y
        CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y
        CONFIG_SND_EMU10K1=y

And then do not include any of the OSS stuff.

Then a normal audio playback on /dev/audio or whatever should work fine.

If not, do you see any errors during boot?
