The sound_mem_init is at the end of linux/kernel/chr_drv/sound/dmabuf.c.
If not, you propably don't have the latest version of the driver. Linux
0.99.4 needs sound driver version 0.5.
There is two possible ways to resolve this situation:
A) Get the latest version (0.5) from nic.funet.fi
(pub/os/linux/xtra/snd-kit/snd-driv-0.5.tar.Z) and
recompile the kernel. Remember to "make clean" first.
B) It would be possible to compile the kernel with version 0.4, but
it's not recommended. You should simply remove the
sound_mem_init() -call from mm/memory.c and recompile the
kernel.
