Enlightenment and Sound

First of all, thank you to the whole gentoo community for your help over the past week of me having Gentoo problems. I am now the proud owner of a gentoo box running Enlightenment 0.16.

I emerged esound and re-emerged/compiled enlightenment. Still no sound, and I'm fairly sure I compiled the kernel with the right drivers (AC97).

esound also needs to be running. Have it startup before enlightenment.
