README.SLACKWARE for oss 

After installing the package, do the following:

1. Blacklist the alsa modules for your sound card.
   The output of "lsmod | grep snd" should give you a list of which modules
   will need to be blacklisted.

2. Make /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa non-executable:  chmod 0644 /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa

3. Make /etc/rc.d/rc.oss executable:  chmod 0755 /etc/rc.d/rc.oss

4. Add this snippet to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

   if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.oss ]; then
     /etc/rc.d/rc.oss start
   fi

5. Reboot.

6. Test sound to ensure that it works - use "osstest" for this.

7. Configure applications to use OSS instead of ALSA; typically, this will 
   involve setting the "Sound Command" or some such to use "ossplay"
