[Sussex] sound probs

Hi Steve,

When I do a modprobe snd-emu10k1 I get:
FATAL: Error inserting emu10k1
(/lib/modules/2.6.3/kernel/sound/oss/emu10k1/emu10k1.ko): Unknown symbol in
module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

wen I do dmesg | grep emu I get a whole bunch of 'Unresolved Symbol' lines...
I have attached my full dmesg result.

I am going to try and make it to the lug moot this month as I havn't quite moved
to the south west yet... ( few weeks to go now! )

Cheers,
Dominic
