His version was the only one I could get to work on my system (other than what I compiled myself).
Anyway, this is what he had to say on the subject:

Honestly, I have never tried to get sound working, but it would appear
SheepShaver is trying to use OSS sound, which has long been replaced by
PulseAudio in linux.
You can try using the "padsp" wrapper, maybe that'll work. ie: type the
following from a command line:
padsp /usr/bin/SheepShaver
Marc Deslauriers."
That seems to have done the trick for me. I added that to the startup command of my desktop launcher and now SheepShaver runs with sound for me when I start it up.
