[frans@localhost frans]$ cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 0.5.10b.
Compiled on Apr 15 2001 for kernel 2.4.3-20mdk with versioned symbols.
This is Mandrake 8.0 . It set up the OSS/free soundcard drivers for
me, it worked OK :)
Then I switched to ALSA for this install and it also works :)
