Not in all cases. The other day teaching I found there is a something
under "Character devices/Video For Linux" which depends on sound being
built. It was during class, so I didn't have the time track down exactly
which driver it was. This was with the kernel source that ships Red Hat
6.2 (I bet the non-heirarchical dependancy exists in the regular kernel
too).
