I've got no sound in 2.3.50.
My Toshiba notebook has a OPL3-SA3 chip which was working with
kernel 2.3.49 sound drivers built into the kernel.
With 2.3.50, none of the sound devices including /dev/sndstat worked.
After checking the log files, I saw the warning that the opl3sa2
parameters needed to be set, I added an append line to my lilo.conf.

Mar 10 11:39:02 krypton kernel:
Mar 10 11:39:02 krypton kernel: opl3sa2: io, mss_io, irq, dma, and dma2 must be set.
Added to lilo.conf:
append = "opl3sa2=0x370,5,1,0,0x530,0x330"
Still no sound functions. So I checked the log again:

and added this to my lilo.conf
append = "ad1848=0x388,5,1,0,0"
Still no sound, although I did have some mixer settings now.
Here's what /dev/sndstat claims, with my 2.3.49 kernel.

So, is there a new configuration file that I need to tweak? Or is
something broken?
Thanks for your help,
