Well just to round things out... I have had some trouble using oss --
I've got a system based on redhat 5.0 but the oss distribution for later
kernels seems to be dynamicly linked to a newer version of ncurses than I
have -- when I tried to install the new ncurses it busted me up pretty
good... I manged to get around it by making a simlink to the older
version and it worked fine.
On the other hand I was able to get my sound card -- a SB ViBRA16X PnP --
working using isapnp tools and compiling SB sound support as a module with
a 2.1.x kernel without TOO much trouble (its easy to send the wrong values
for DMA etc when initializing the module) But overall I would have to
admit that it was much more of a pain than OSS. I just wanted sound AND a
new kernel so I didnt have much choice.
