can't open /dev/snd/seq

I'm following the directions in

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p … &iId=13563

to get Dragon NaturallySpeaking (DNS) 10-standard working on cruncheee
08.10.  The first step is to download winetricks and run it.  An error
message occurs when I use winetricks.  I.e.

$ sh winetricks gdiplus fontfix

The first line is an error message complaining it didn't see /dev/snd/seq .
and mentioned ALSA.  So I decide to use winecfg to change to OSS (I have to change to OSS anyway for DNS).  Running winetrick again gets:

$ sh winetricks gdiplus fontfix

I still get the same error - can't open /dev/snd/seq .
The sound modules (snd-pcm-oss, snd-seq-oss, and
snd-mixer-oss???) are missing.  So I used

modprobe snd-pcm-oss
modprobe snd-seq-oss
modprobe snd-mixer-oss

before running winetricks.  But I can't do this.  I.e.,

$ modprobe snd-pcm-oss
WARNING: Error inserting snd_mixer_oss (/lib/modules/2.6.27-8-eeepc-lean/kernel/sound/core/oss/snd-mixer-oss.ko): Operation not permitted
FATAL: Error inserting snd_pcm_oss (/lib/modules/2.6.27-8-eeepc-lean/kernel/sound/core/oss/snd-pcm-oss.ko): Operation not permitted

$ modprobe snd-seq-oss

$ modprobe snd-mixer-oss
FATAL: Error inserting snd_mixer_oss (/lib/modules/2.6.27-8-eeepc-lean/kernel/sound/core/oss/snd-mixer-oss.ko): Operation not permitted

What is my solution?  Wrong sound modules???  Missing something?

Fyi, I'm running cruncheee 8.10 on this eee 701 4G laptop.  And the
lspci and lsmod outputs are

Thank in advanced for any help.

p.s. Searching the !# forum for /dev/snd/seq didn't help.

Re: can't open /dev/snd/seq

Have you tried using the normal (or full) kernel instead of lean?

Re: can't open /dev/snd/seq

No.  And I'm reluctant to.  I only have 4G on this eee laptop.   And I already used 2/3 of thie space and still haven't put on Dragon NaturallySpeaking
nor account for all the data I will create.

Better if I can add a sound program or whatever that adds the sound modules I need.
