sound not starting.

[Robin Cook <rcook wyrms net>]

What am I missing.  

* Compiled a new kernel (2.4.22-pre2), recompile alsa-driver, alsa-lib,
alsa-utils, and esound.

* Made sure all audio devices had full rights (rw_rw_rw_).
* Made sure soundcore and alsa modules were loaded.

* aplay and esdplay actually play wav files from the commandline.

But when I start gnome up sound fails to start with these errors.

A lot of audio-alsa: no cards found.
and
** (gnome-session:31400): WARNING **: Esound failed to start.

What have I missed that would cause this?
