I have compiled sound as a module and have tested it. kerneld
automatically loads sound as a module when I do:

cat sample.au > /dev/audio

or

cat /dev/sndstat

Now when playing sound from my cdrom, I just type cdplay and I get sound
played through my sound card .... but the sound module does not get
loaded. I can load sound and unload it which does not affect the cdrom
playing audio.

Is this natural?

On startup, I isapnp is called and I initialze further my opti-based
sound card with a separate program.

Yes it is, provided you connected your CD-ROM to your SoundCard with the small,
grey cable. It is the same as if you would plug your headphones (or your boxes)
to the female connector in front of your CD drive.
