[PLUG] K7S5A Sound Hardware

[Cooper Stevenson]

Mike;

The best answer I can give you from here is to compile ``Intel ICH (i8xx)
support in a new kernel. The help section for this option states that it
includes support for your sound chipset.

Modules have gotten a lot better with recent kernels in my opinion. If you
would rather eliminate *any* chance for hassle then simply compile it in.
