Thanks to helpful suggestions frma variet of people (particularly Bran Keefer) I now have working Squeak sound - Yay!

The key seems to have been finding sndconfig and installing it ( which required installing another half-dozen things - oh, the joy of modules :-)  and trying out successive setting of the soundblaster drivers until sometihng worked. Finally it did and I got to hear Linus T explain how to say linux. Funny, it didn't sound much like he did last time I bumped into him. Still, the three-part trio (are there four part trios?) in the Fun With Music project worked, so I'm much happier.

Thanks very much everyone.
