Hey Norm,
Here's a lead, I'm afraid the oss sound driver isn't suitable, your going to
have to track down the driver, I looked in the developement kernel docs
(that doesn't mean its not in there though) I couldn't see it.
Try emailing these fella's, let us know on the list how you go too.
Cheers,
Peter Firmstone.

Well, i have DS-XG and downloaded the free sound drivers and got it
working in like 15 minutes... It automatically detected my sound card
and started working. Of course i did have to recompile the kernel so
that it didn't automatically load up a sound driver, but I think that
you can just edit the /etc/inittab file.
