Migrated from OSS to ALSA on 2.6.9 and lived to tell about it...

Hi Debian!

To see whether fbxine would play any better with ALSA ( it does not :-( 
regardless what the FAQ says ) I migrated.

1. I recompiled the kernel with (NO MODULES!):
    * Soundcard support
    * ALSA
    * OSS Mixer API
    * OSS PCM API
    * Verbose printk
    * Debug
    * Debug Detection
    * ISA Devices: Generic Cyrrus Logic CS4232 Driver

2. apt-get installed alsa-base

3. took out the oss module from /etc/modules

All there was to it. Even alsamixer was already set up.
Piece of cake.
