kmod and sound

Running 2.1.108 with kmod, I can't get the sound modules to
auto-load. A manual "modprobe cs4232" works; I have done
"depmod -a" OK and /etc/conf.modules contains correct option
information for cs4232.o. I read that kmod uses modprobe, so
the fact that the sound stuff is not auto-loading presumably
means that kmod is not actually calling modprobe on cs4232, e.g.
when I try to cat something to /dev/audio. Is there a way to
prod it into doing so? I tried aliasing char-major-14 to
"cs4232" instead of "sound"; since that didn't do it I tried
'post-install sound modprobe "-k" "cs4232"' (in conf.modules).
Is this just something that doesn't quite work yet (it was OK
under kerneld)?
