Ay, that may be the rub! I think I've still seen 'dmasound.o' when I did
a lsmod. I did not change conf.modules, that's for sure.
I have no idea, though, where I might have got the old dmasound.o from,
because I made a 'mrproper' before the last compiles. I can imagine that
would have messed up everything a bit, though I'm wondering how the
module got loaded with the wrong kernel version at all...
I noted some failed module dependencies, but none with the sound stuff
AFAIKT. I'll sort this out when I'm back at my machine.

Thanks,
