discover is run only one time in a normal boot operation. It detects
what modules you need and loads them. If you remove discover, you will
remove the program. But if you don't reboot, modules loaded by discover
aren't unloaded, and that's normal.

So if discover was loading oss module instead of your alsa modules, once
you remove it, please reboot.

If your problem is something, please pardon me and please give extra
explanations.

Thanks !
