Linux 1.99q12, probably 2.0 as well, bug



If you have sound support built as a module, and you're running kerneld to
demand-load modules, Executor will come up only with "pretend" sound unless
the sound module is already loaded.

I suspect there's a check that asks "is sound available"?  Instead, it
might be better to try to play a sound--say the "machine on bong"--and see
if that succeded.  If it did, then you have sound, if not then you don't.
That gives kerneld a chance to load the sound module into kernel space if
it can.
