Do they do the job properly or are they basically the result of splitting

I think that was the case already with RH8 (psyche).

That's a shame since the use of PHP with Apache 2 is still not recommended.
ISTR reading documentation on php.net to that effect, although that was back
in the days of PHP 4.2.0 and things might have changed by now.

Maybe you have to modprobe the modules for your sound card explicitly. Once
you've found out which modules are needed you can list them in /etc/mudules
to have them loaded when the box boots.
