No, no, the OSS drivers do not have "OSS" in them. I'm sorry that I
can't be more help (as I said, I use ALSA instead), but you need to
find out what the module for your card is. It likely has some
sort-of short version of the chipset name on it. (You really need
drivers for your _chip_, not your board.)

I don't know what your video card would have to do with your sound
card. Even if you had a board with both video and sound support (do
you?! I didn't even know there were such things), the video portion
would not be relevant to the support for the sound.

You likely haven't installed the kernel-source package for your
preferred kernel.
