Just dont beleive what the kernel folks in 2.6 say that OSS is deprecated. Some of alsas drivers are horrible when compared with OSS, my recommendation is that if your driver works with OSS then stick with it. One reason to use alsa is that if your driver doesnt allow multiple simulaneous inputs ie you cant play xmms and another sound utility at the same time, then it is worth using alsa. But then if alsas support for your card is poor then there is no point in it. Alsa setup is also a bit of a PITA.
