Both the snd-Driver (alsa) and the other one should work. I won't go
into details here, but you have to tell the system to load the driver.
Add
es1370
to /etc/modules to load the OSS driver. Or add a line
alias sound-slot-0 es1370
to /etc/modprobe.d/aliases (Kernel 2.6) and /etc/modutils/aliases
(Kernel 2.4). Run update-modules (2.6) and update-modules.modutils
(2.4).
And don't forget to add yourself to the audio group. Otherwise you will
get "Permission denied" after loading the driver.
