Ok well you might not have the alsa plugin for freeamp. I'm using unstable so the package I would need is: zinf-plugin-alsa - ALSA plugin for ZINF for stable it would be: libfreeamp-alsa - ALSA plugin for FreeAmp so you would do: apt-get install name-of-package and then configure freeamp to use alsa. An alternative approach is to compile a kernel which includes OSS emulation, so you can use the ALSA drivers and still be able to access them through OSS applications.
