   Enable loadable module support   
   [*]   Automatic kernel module loading

    Open Sound System (DEPRECATED)   
      OSS sound modules   
        Ensoniq SoundScape support   
        100% Sound Blaster compatibles (SB16/32/64, ESS, Jazz16) support   
      
   Then load the right module, if the kernel hasn't already loaded it.   
   All you need is to modprobe the driver for your sound card, everything else   
   that hasn't been loaded and the sound card driver depends on is loaded   
   automatically.

   Alsa has the OSS emulation and is a good option and allows you to use all   
   applications that relay on the OSS.
