I have get and installed latest versione of ALSA (0.3.0.pre4)
All play of sound in ok with ALSA or OSS programs
Midi play in not working
Recording in ok with ALSA and some OSS programs (gramofile, etc.)
Some other programs (SoundStudio, SND) get card info from /dev/sndstat
but answer is:
cat: /dev/sndstat: Operation not supported by device
Is a ALSA problem or a installation problem?
My box is:
PII/233 - RedHat 5.1 - kernel 2.0.35 - ESS1868 card
My /etc/conf.modules is:

alias char-major-116 snd
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1
alias snd-card-0 snd-audiodrive18xx
options snd-audiodrive18xx snd_port=0x220 snd_irq=5 snd_dma1=1
snd-dma2=3
options snd-audiodrive18xx snd_fm_port=0x388
options snd-audiodrive18xx snd_mpu_port=0x330
alias char-major-14 snd
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm1-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm1-oss

I have to put a
modprobe snd-audiodrive18xx
modprobe snd-pcm1-oss
in my init files for a working OSS compatibility.
