zen# mixer
mixer: /dev/mixer: No such file or directory
zen# 

	and:

zen# egrep "configured|driver" dmesg.*
dmesg.today:pci1: <display, VGA> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
dmesg.today:pci0: <multimedia, audio> at device 6.0 (no driver attached)
dmesg.today:sio0: configured irq 4 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
dmesg.today:sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
dmesg.yesterday:pci1: <display, VGA> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
dmesg.yesterday:pci0: <multimedia, audio> at device 6.0 (no driver
attached)
dmesg.yesterday:sio0: configured irq 4 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
dmesg.yesterday:sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0

	What surprised me was:

dmesg.today:pci0: <multimedia, audio> at device 6.0 (no driver attached)

	while grep'ing for snd|audio.  This probably points to what
	Kevin said about the 600E chipset being s "Crystal Audio".
