    Correct. The sound module is also part of OSS; the ALSA equivalent is snd.

    It looks like your kernel image has support for both ALSA and OSS enabled,
    and both are getting loaded somehow.

    Make sure that sound, via82cxxx_audio, and ac97_codec aren't also
    in /etc/modules, or in /etc/modprobe.conf or any file it includes.
