It works!  Thanks.  Oddly, with that kernel /proc/asound/version still
is
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.14 (Fri Jul 20
09:12:58 2007 UTC).

This is with linux-image-2.6.23-1-686             2.6.23-2

I wonder if I can get suspend to work!

I thought the Latitudes were designed for consistency and compatibility,
so their hardware would not be cutting edge.  I guess it's cutting edge
enough.

So it's probably OK to close this.  Maybe assign it to the kernel first?
Probably people will be more likely to find it here.

Thanks Didier and Elimar for your help.  It's nice to have sound working
at last.
