The idea is that kudzu catalogs your system on initial install, then
it can detect *new* hardware from then on. Ie you turn the machine on
one day with a different card.
Kudzu isn't supposed to do stuff on initial install, just catalog the
system so it can tell what is new.
As has been said, you just needed to run sndconfig.
kudzu is not perfect at detecting hardware, which is why the install
doesn't rely on it to set stuff up automatically.
