    Sorry, but I accidentally deleted your previous reply. As it wasn't on
    list, I'm also taking the opportunity to put us back on-list with the
    discussion.

    If OSS is working but ALSA isn't, that's a problem. OSS should not be
    working at all, except through the ALSA-provided OSS compatibility
    support. If OSS is functioning independently, you need to unload the
    kernel modules for OSS.

    i.e. modprobe -r emu10k1

    After that, you'll want to make sure that you have the appropriate ALSA
    drivers loaded:

    modprobe snd-emu10k1

    If after this you still get a device not found error, you'll need to
    check that you have ALSA set up correctly for whatever it is that you
    happen to be using it for. As an example, in my ALSA plugin for XMMS, I
    have the following:

    Audio device: EMU10K1

    Mixer card: 0

    Mixer device PCM

    If you don't want to use ALSA and would prefer to stick with OSS, you'll
    need to wait for someone else to reply as I haven't used OSS in well
    over a year now.
