For a brief time - I swapped a FC2/rawhide disk into my T40 - and
anaconda configured sound with alsa on it (and it worked). From what I
could tell - it just added the following to /etc/modproble.conf - and
the sound worked. (after cranking up the volume/other-params up with
gnome-volume-control)

--------
alias eth0 e1000
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
--------

The latest FC2/rawhide kernel has some Thinkpad ACPI fixes - so I
should try it again with the T40 :)
