Because ALSA is not in the kernel tree. ALSA is a completely different sound system from OSS, and ALSA is not in the tree. Many find ALSA superior, and suggest it replace OSS. ALSA may find its way into the tree during 2.5. Of note, I don't know why SBLive does not work w/o these drivers. SBLive in the kernel tree is very functional, and the OSS version should work fine (assuming the game works with OSS). -- Robert M. Love rml at ufl.edu rml at tech9.net
