Correct me if I'm wrong? According to the xconfig help, "sound" module is the sound.o driver which is the OSS support. Do I even need this? Anyway..

You do not need it.

When I run an audio test and "lsmod" again, the (unused) statement is gone for emu10k1, but remains for sound.

Does anybody know how I can "link" sound to the emu10k1 or vice versa?

/etc/modutils/aliases is the file you need to look at. That and /usr/doc/modutils/module-policy.Debian.gz. Oh, and have a look at 'man modules.conf' and 'man update-modules' while you are at it (synopsis: debian generates /etc/modules.conf from the files in /etc/modutils/, so you need to run update-modules in order for changes there to take effect).


Is it crucial to have "emu10k1" added to /etc/modules or is that only necessary to make it load automatically at boot?

That is only for automatic loading at boot.
