I'm just in the middle of a re-install. sid was just a bit too much bleeding 
edge for me, and when it started to get cranky I couldn't sort out the broken 
bits. So back to testing/sarge for me I think. I've always used OSS and 
configured my SBLIVE into the kernel and it's worked fine. Is there any 
advantage to using ALSA? I'd hate to think I was missing out on anything!
