It's not in 2.4. It's in Mandrake's kernel because it supports some cards OSS doesn't. > It really > has a lot of advantages. If people use the stock > kernel, they can > modify their modules.conf. No, if you want to use ALSA when OSS works you can modify modules.conf. Stock kernels should work out of the box. Alternatively there could be (in expert mode only) a way to select OSS or ALSA (like CUPS/Gimp-Print in printerdrake, OSS should be default). > So do not make unfounded statements that OSS works > better.
