OK, here's a little more info.  /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf contains the 
following:

         # enable sound by default
         SOUND              = Y
         # choose either esd or nasd to be the default (esd only on x86_64)
         SOUND_DAEMON       = "esd"
         # SOUND_DAEMON     = "nasd"

         # default sound volume
         VOLUME             = 75

         ### For ISA sound cards, you have to specify the module to use:
         # SMODULE_01       = "sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1"

Any ideas?
