I started with 2.4.22, emerged alsa sound and it worked fine.Emerge alsa-oss, or emerge alsa-xmms and switch to the xmms alsa output plugin.
Then I emerged 2.6.1-mm1 and lost alsa.
I have now been through menuconfig adding alsa-oss modules, and redoing make modules modules_install and now it looks like it is working, but no music.
The gnome volume mixer panel appears to be OK, and I get loud clicks as I unmute / mute Vol (and line 2 ? )
but when I play a .ogg xmms opens a looks like it is playing but no sound. I do have some sound from gaim, select sound events / test plays the bell sound quietly. The pcm fader on the mixer turns this off, but the main vol has no effect. If xmms is playing, then this gaim effect sound is masked - silent.
Does this odd nearly working make any sense?

emerged alsa-xmms, and found how to select it as an output plugin. And get loud white noise.
So I tried emerge alsa-oss, I am a little confused here as I have already selected oss api emulation in my alsa kernel config (and oss mixer api & oss pcm). This made xmms unhappy, it failed to open, so hitting nut with hammer emerged xmms again now roughly back where I started.
Odd thing is with some tracks I get about one second of sound at start of track and then silence.
My card is S3sonicvibes.
Any other suggestions very welcome
