EH? Sound module support works just fine. You might need to do a make menuconfig rather than config to access this option, though. It's not too practical (IMHO) to include a sound module in the standard kernel distribution, because unlike other drivers, all the sound drivers get compiled togethe as you pick them at compile time in the sound.o. OSS/Linux (the commercial version) uses separate drivers but I guess that's what you're paying for.
