More Sound Problems

I have an Optiplex Gxa with some built-in CS4232 chip. I use RH 5.0
with a 2.1.89 where sound is compiled as module :

It seems I can use the following modules :

sound
ad1848 (needs sound)
cs4232 (needs ad1848 & sound)
opl3 (needs sound)
mpu401 (needs sound)

Here is my conf.modules :

alias char-major-14 cs4232
options opl3 io=0x388
options mpu401 io=0x330 irq=9
options cs4232 io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0

I have the following problems :

- opl3 is needed to play midi sounds
but since cs4232 does not depend on it,
it is not loaded automatically by kerneld
on a request on the major-14-devices.

- same for mpu 401

- with all these loaded into the kernel, my
/dev/sndstat looks rather strange : there
is no Card config ???

---------------------------

% cat /dev/sndstat
OSS/Free:3.8s2++-971130
Load type: Driver loaded as a module
Kernel: Linux charlie.loria.fr 2.1.89 #3 Fri Mar 13 02:10:50 MET 1998
i686
Config options: 0

Installed drivers:

Card config:

Audio devices:
0: Crystal audio controller (CS4236) (DUPLEX)

Synth devices:
0: Yamaha OPL-3

Midi devices:
0: MPU-401 1.5U Midi interface #1

Timers:
0: System clock
1: Crystal audio controller (CS4236)
2: MPU-401 Timer

Mixers:
0: Crystal audio controller (CS4236)

- ---------------------------

- It seems I cannot control the overall
volume triger of the device ... no effect
on the volume when using xmixer for ex.
But the CD, synth, midi sub-volume
trigers seem to work well ...

Any ideas to solve one of these ??

Thanks a lot
