There's no code in there to compile, that I can see. I got excited when I
saw /dev/snd but it doesn't seem to mean anything. There's no real
installation docs either... it seems like it's all API reference. I could
personally care less about the API at this point...
What do I need to do to get sound working? Buy something? Reinstall?
Red Hat? SuSE?

Thanks, I'd love that myself!
