You might want to try the ALSA sound stuff. I've got it working on my
T21 and it works quite nicely (for DVD playback, for exampe, it's
better then OSS).

Here's my /etc/modules.conf file (the relevant sections):

# ALSA
alias char-major-116 snd
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1

# ALSA driver for CS46xx
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-cs46xx
options snd-card-cs46xx snd_index=0 snd_id="CS46xx"

# ALSA OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

I used the 0.9.x series ALSA stuff.
