My understanding was that both OSS and ALSA are add-ons, NOT in the
standard kernel (I'm using kernel v2.4.18).
So, I compiled Ogle and liba52 with those disabled. ..can't recall
the config options from memeory, but I think with liba52 I used
"--disable-oss --disable-alsa".
I thought that there is a movement toward integrating ALSA in the
kernel, but it hasn't actually happened. I also thought that OSS is
a quasi-commercial thing, so would never be part of the kernel
sound system.
