Actually, the reason Mandrake switched was that OSS _doesn't_ support all 
cards, and ALSA supports more.  Also, OSS doesn't support more advanced 
features on cards like SBLive (from what I understand, I don't actually have 
one).  Can you give me an example of a card that's not supported by ALSA that 
works with OSS/Free?  Maybe a couple of very obscure ones, but there are more 
drivers overall, and the quality is usually better (I was getting pops with 
one card with OSS, and the problem was fixed by switching to ALSA).  Anyway, 
here's the ALSA driver list: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/
