Made a kernel with alsa sound support compiled in! I also compiled in the
"generic" devices. Result: NO UNDEFINED. My three (a set ncards = 3) became
dummy, virmidi and the ensonic. The ensonic did not play, however, but the
alsa restore on bootup failed because of the 1st two. Kmixer settings are
restored but have no effect.

So I am trying to build it with just the alsa core compiled in and hopefully
the three cards will be the mpu401, usb-audio and ensonic loaded as modules
as before. Wish this did not take so long to try out :-)
