Well... If there's /proc/asound/ directory - you can be sure you're runnin'
ALSA. you can also check for /dev/snd/ directory (if pcm* devices can "make a
sound" - you're on ALSA).
If your kernel uses modules you can determine it by checking sound modules
name. If they start with snd-* - they're alsa's. If not - OSS'.
Well... i'm pretty sure that there is "professional way" to check it out, but
these work for me.
