Thks, will fix that =) Glad it was somewhat useful.

Now that would be cool -- I don't recall it working here, that's why I
went after the solutions I posted on that HOWTO. AFAICS I have
OSS-compatibility enabled; how can I check that? Is it simply a matter
of configuring /etc/modules.conf? Any specific compilation flags needed?

I would really love to update that article if I were to make it simpler
=)
