Putting anything related to OSS into your system's config files is
silly. OSS has been deprecated for as long as the 2.6 kernels have
been in use (FC2, I believe.) The AWE32 is SB16 compatible, so as long
as the kernel has ISA and SB16 support in ALSA, it should work. It
might also need isapnp support.
