If the proper ALSA driver is loaded, the directory /proc/asound should
be populated. Here's what mine looks like:
obsolescence[12]> ls /proc/asound/
card0 cards CMI8738 devices hwdep modules oss pcm seq timers

Open the xine setup window, click on the "audio" tab and scroll to the
item labelled "audio driver to use".

It should mostly work. When I upgraded to kernel 2.6 earlier in the
year, I had a problem with the OSS module being loaded first before the
ALSA module. Putting the offending OSS module name in
/etc/hotplug/blacklist allowed the ALSA module to finally load.
