I'd be surprised if anyone could give you an answer "shortly".  Sound is
magic.  I have sound on _every_ kernel I've ever installed as part of a
brand-new install.  I almost always (on two different laptops) lost sound
on an upgrade.  I have Ubuntu (gnome) installed on one partition with
2.6.24-16, with sound.  I have Kubuntu, originally installed with Gutsy,
and upgraded last month to Hardy, with 2.6.22 (whatever the last version
from Gutsy was), 2.6.24-16 and 2.6.24-17 and only the 2.6.22 kernel has
sound.  I've yet to tackle the difference between the KDE and Gnome systems
to find out what the difference is.
