   Well, that is not hard. The documentation for alsa is terrible. Yes, the   
   oss docs are much better. You can use it to figure out how to program for   
   oss. But it is not a handholding exercise. You need to figure out which   
   module and install it. You need to make sure that all your alsa stuff   
   (snd-) stuff is uninstalled. (rmmod)
