5 alsaconf ran fine. I stopped 'alsa' (and noted that all snd modules were
6 unloaded), ran alsaconf, and noted that modules were now loaded.

8 Still can't get sound via /dev/dsp. It's my understanding that snd_pcm_oss
9 should be the one that handles /dev/dsp.
10
11 The following 'snd' related modules are loaded:
12 # lsmod |grep snd
13 snd_pcm_oss 41824 0
14 snd_mixer_oss 16640 1 snd_pcm_oss
15 snd_intel8x0 34024 0
16 snd_ac97_codec 117784 1 snd_intel8x0
17 snd_pcm 87256 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec
18 snd_page_alloc 9424 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
19 ac97_bus 2240 1 snd_ac97_codec

21 My kernel is 2.6.26-gentoo-r1. But I tried another couple from 2.6.24 and
22 didn't have success there either. I wonder whether it's a user-land lib
23 issue?

25 Installed:
26 alsa-lib 1.0.16
27 alsa-oss 1.0.15
28 alsa-tools 1.0.16
29 alsa-utils 1.0.16
