Solved.  Not elegant, but solved.

I found several places in the scripts where tests for the presense of
pysolsoundserver were being made.  And a couple more places where the
option for sound was being tested.  The test returns what ever it returns,
but I just force the answer to always be "failed" and "nosound."

I think there were five places to change an assignment statement.  

Thanks to everyone for your responses.  It helped.  I learned more about
python than I intended.  And that can't be bad. :)
