Sound and /tmp

[Redferne]

I've been trying to get my sound card working, a creative vibra 128, for which the drive is apparently the es1731 module. Now I'm not sure if this is how to go about it or not, but I did 'insmod es1731' and I got:

Tytn:~# insmod es1371
Using /lib/modules/2.4.2/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o

/lib/modules/2.4.2/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o: unresolved symbol unregister_sound_midi_Rfdab6de3

and while I'm here... somehow the /tmp directory got deleted, when I realised this I remade it, but I think the owerners/permissions are wrong because when I try to use man;

man: can't create a temporary filename: Permission denied


Can anyone tell if I'm going about getting the sound card working the right way (and what those errors mean), and what permissions, owner and group should be set for the /tmp directory?

I'd give the /tmp directory permissions 766...the owner (root) can do whatever the hell they like with it. Everyone else can read and write. Either that, or give the owner full permissions and everyone else none, and then chown that mofo to your user. As for the soundcard, *shrug*...I hate those messages :(
