[K12OSN] sound... still not working

[Petre Scheie]

Have a look at 
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/WorkInProgress#esd_ALSA_sound_on_LTSP_4_2

I have some Dell Laptops with a Maestro3 chip for which sound worked under LTSP 4.1, but 
wouldn't work under 4.2.  After adding Gadi's package AND changing maestro3 to 
snd-maestro3 in audiolist, sound worked.  Consider jumping on #LTSP on IRC where you can 
get help in realtime (which is what I did).
