Suggested Addition (I think this is where they go...) 
 
Q: When I upgrade my kernel, sound stops working. I get errors during the 
bootup process saying the 'snd-card-[cardname]' modules are not found. 
 
A: When you are using ALSA sound, you need to rebuild the sound drivers for a 
new kernel. Make sure that the /usr/src/linux symlink is pointing to your new 
kernel sources and re-emerge 
media-sound/alsa-driver/[your-alsa-driver-version].ebuild  
 
See the Desktop Configuration Guide for detailed instructiosn on installing 
ALSA.

Fixed this in the 1.4 desktop upgrade.
