Kind of. The OSS modules will still be present, and can be loaded
manually. But the "alsa" option starts the alsa autodetection script
prior to hardware detection, and skips sound devices in the rest of the
setup. So, you should get only the alsa modules loaded. At that time
(Knoppix 3.4), ALSA was not stable enough for prduction use, so it was
just an option.
Why are you seeking for an older version, though? The current edition
has ALSA by default.
