That's actually a very good idea that I completely overlooked! Alsa is
usually much better on Alpha than the default OSS drivers in the
kernel. I wish I could speak from experience of late, but I don't have a
sound board in my SX (only in my UDBs and I admittedly haven't tried using
those in ages).
Robert, give Alsa a shot. You'll have to compile the modules yourself,
but once installed, they should work much better than the OSS modules in
the kernel.
