sound

[Robert Meyer]

Alsa may not be loading the 'oss' compatibility stuff.  When you type
'/sbin/lsmod', do you see stuff like:
snd-mixer-oss
snd-pcm-oss
snd-seq-oss

If not, try modprobing those things:
modprobe snd-mixer-oss
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
modprobe snd-seq-oss

If that works, then you need to add those to the /etc/modules.conf
file.  You can probably do it with something like:
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore

# ALSA portion
alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712

# OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 ice1712

# OSS/Free portion - card #0 
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

NOTE that this is only an example and you need to change the 'ice1712' to
whatever card you have.  YMMV

Cheers!
