How come /proc/sound was removed?  Is there an alternative place to get
that information?

I've been watching for sound articles on linux-kernel, and looks like
there are changes in 2.3.51 which may effect my problem. But sadly,
2.3.51 wont build on my system, so I'm just waiting for next week and
2.3.52, or 2.4-pre-1, or whatever.   When I get a new kenel built,
I'll report back.

Thanks,
