Bug Description
In GCP images it is possible to create virtual MIDI devices and generally do stuff like audio routing, etc.
At CircleCI, where we run many of our VMs on Ubuntu in GCP, several of our customers use this functionality to test audio equipment in their CI runs.
Unfortunately they cannot run their tests on our AWS based VMs, as there is no sound support compiled into the kernel on the AWS kernel and images.
See the package listings for the other kernels for, e.g. the loopback driver:
```
linux-modules-
linux-modules-
linux-modules-
```
We would love to be able to install the sound drivers (especially snd-aloop) with the linux-modules-
You can see the difference in the GCP:

again there. The reasoning for the removal appears to be in this commit from 2016:

Please try the test kernel at https:/ /kernel. ubuntu. com/~rtg/ jammy-snd- aloop-lp1970586 /5.15.0- 1006.8~ lp1970586. 1/. I've made only the minimal config change to enable CONFIG_SND_ALOOP=m.
