Hello.

Well ... I feel a little bit stupid ...
The reason, why this was not working for me, was related on the fact,
that I use a diskless Workstation/Terminal and /dev is mounted as a volatile
file system into memory. I forgot to create the appropriate devices on
the boot-server - since I did this, I have sound and all things work
great!

Thanks a lot ...
