Simon, I'll have to try building again w OSS disabled in the kernel; I'm guessing that something (probably gstreamer as you mentioned) detected OSS support in the kernel and configured itself accordingly.

I think it's more a case of "if OSS is enabled in the kernel at all, then gstreamer expects it to be enabled completely." I'll attempt to verify this in the near future by making sure everything OSS-related is disabled in the kernel. > One idea - try running gstreamer-properties, or go to Sound Preferences > in Gnome. Do the various audio options include ALSA support, or just OSS > and ESD? They show both, which is what leads me to suspect the above.
