Is the "+" part of the command?  Running the command without the + there is a 
pause and nothing is returned to stdout.  Is the output directed to stderror?

running the command /sbin.lspci | grep -i audio produces the message " no 
modules" 

If the sound module has indeed been totally clobbered is there a way to put it 
back -- short of doing a clean install? I guess this weekend is total data 
backup time.
