Uhm, the 'say' command sometimes fails to produce any actual output - just clicking randomly;
try a
'wave 256 5'
to see if it works; or retry say with different words etc.
check in
'lsmod'
to see whether the soundcard drivers loaded ok...
Another test for a working soundcard is to plug a mic in; then issue
'mixer mic 100'
and see if you get drowned in feedback :^)

Hell of a lot of work, you'll need to find a driver for mu's rustified 2.0 kernel; get the modules.tgz from the misc directory of sunsite.dk/mulinux , and if its not there, find the similarly named archieve from toms rtbt ( http://toms.net/rb ) - you might have to 'insmod -f' to force 'em into a slightly different kernel :)
Alternatively, grab a copy of the 2.0. kernel sources & build your own kernel... make sure to enable ram filesystem & loopback support to use with mu :-!
Good luck!
