[K12OSN] via vt1612 audio driver

[Peter Scheie]

Right, lsmod does show those pieces loaded, and during the boot process, 
when rc.sound runs, I see the driver successfully load.  But then right 
after that is when I get all the alsa errors.  I'm using Gideon's 
oss-alsa sound package, which replaces the default sound package, 
because I need it to make sound work for some Dell laptops.  But the 
fact that the 7019 driver works with the old sound package makes me 
hopeful that I can fix it by somehow incorporating the driver into the 
package.  I think there may be some licensing issues--SiS won't say what 
the licensing is--that prevent the driver from being shipped with LTSP 
and perhaps Gideon's package has the same issue.  But that doesn't 
prevent me from installing it myself if I can figure out how.  I'll keep 
at it.
