basically, yes. the oss drivers are probably perfectly ok, but the whole
alsa architecture is superior to oss, although more complex. if you just
need simple audio playback/recording, oss is fine. for anything more
demanding (low-latency operation, multichannel or even full-duplex with
some cards), go for alsa.
it's going to be "official" soon, it's already in the current
development kernel.
btw, there is a linux-audio-user list at
http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad, in case you have questions concerning
which application to choose for a job etc.
