Not that either are fun to deal with when all you want to do is be able to get Second Life's voice support to work.
Pure ALSA works fine if you only need one sound at a time and don't
need/want stuff like per source volume, and don't mind Flash sometimes
messing up and blocking all access to the sound card.
Even then, ALSA does quite fine if the hardware you're dealing with isn't single-channel.
