The BL2 kernel was compiled without sound support.

No.  The BL2 kernel must be small (to work on systems with
8mb RAM).  I will not be making it bigger.  Users who need
more functionality should replace it (zimage) with the
bare.i kernel (bzimage) from Slackware 7.1.

Slackware 7.1 normally uses libc.so.6.  The libc5 package
is just there as an option (for people wanting to run old
binaries, like Netscape 3.04).

Did you execute 'ldconfig' after you installed the library?
It is needed to integrate the library into the system.  pkg
(BL1) and installpkg (BL2) automatically run ldconfig when
they install a library package.
