Problems with Red Hat 7.1
I tried to use the sndconfig tool to set up my sound card. When it does the probe it finds an acer pci sound card, but I have a trident. This wouldn't bother me so much if it worked. Is there a way to configure my sound card by picking it off a list of cards?
The second problem I'm having is that Gnome keeps freezing up. I have a P3 850mhz, 128mb ram, and 128mb swap partition. I can't understand why it keeps coming to a halt.
I love the challenge of figuring these things out but I'm a newbie and I have no clue where to begin.

randomsound
RANDOMSOUND(8) System Manager's Manual RANDOMSOUND(8)
NAME
randomsound - ALSA sound card related entropy gathering daemon.
SYNOPSIS
randomsound [options]
DESCRIPTION
Using the low order bit of the ADC output of your sound card, randomsound gathers entropy, debiases it and offers it up to your kernel's
random pool. It can be tweaked to only write into the pool when it drops below a certain level, and to back off once the pool is full
enough. This build will set your sound card into 16 bit mono unsigned input at 8KHz. If your sound card cannot do that then you will need
to change the defines in asoundrunner.c and recompile the package. You must have set up asound as root on your machine. This can be done
with the asoundconf tool and its set-default-card command.
You may also need to use the alsamixer to ensure that the sound card is generating plenty of noise. Set all the gains nice and high, turn
on any boosters you have. If you have a V_REFLVL or similar then consider tweaking that.
OPTIONS
-D Daemonize
-v Increase verbosity. Can be used more than once.
-m specify minimum number of bits of entropy in the pool.
-M specify max number of bits in the pool.
-b specify number of bytes of randomness to buffer for use.
-d specify number of bytes to deposit into the pool each time.
-h display help message
-V display version information.
