Hiya all,

I have 2 general questions regarding my Gentoo install on my laptop.

I have had Gentoo up and running for about 10 months now and it works
great. Last night I decided to upgrade from 2.4.22 (self-build) to
2.6.2 (also self-build, thus not from the Gentoo emerge system). 
Anyway, it's working all generally fine, except for 1 "problem", and 1
question:

1) Problem: I have no terminal bell (system beep) which on the one hand
is annoying, yet sometimes handy (ifplugd and my network as an example).
Is this a kernel option that you know of, or ...? Any ideas here?

2) Question: Since a while back I see that OSS in the kernel is
depreciated, and ALSA is recommended, but for the life of me I cannot
see what the advantage is of ALSA. AFAIK everything I use uses the OSS
system (OSS-emulation in ALSA), so why not just use OSS instead of
having to emulate it all?

Greetings
Ralph
