Thanks Michael - worked a treat. The first time no changes were made to
modprobe.conf but after I deleted the snd entry and repeated kudzu then
it was re-created (correctly this time). The configuration is now
happily still there after a reboot. Many thanks.

One outstanding issue is that there's no output from the CD player.
System sounds and xmms are fine but not output from the CD player -
still looking around for a solution though...

Thanks again.

Nick.
