That is a sensible policy.  Someone suggested however
that they did OSS->ALSA on the es1371, when there is
*nothing wrong* with OSS on that card.  Also, for
cards (like SBLive) where OSS works (just maybe isn't
the greatest) the option should still be presented up
front (expert mode only) in DrakX to use OSS, rather
than just surprising people with it.
