I don't believe the OSS modules are necessary to use Alsa with the
Ensoniq AudioPCI.

Edit your /etc/conf.modules. Mine is:

# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-audiopci

# OSS/Lite portion
alias char-major-14 snd
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm1-oss
alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm1-oss

#post-install snd-audiopci alsactl restore
#pre-install snd-audiopci alsactl store

I've commented the last two lines because they throw modprobe into a fit
(excessive logging of messages such as 'can't locate module snd-card-1'
that I don't know how to cure). Enabling them makes sure that your
settings are properly stored/restored across different loadings of the
modules. There's useful info in alsa-driver-0.3.0-pre4/INSTALL &
alsa-driver-0.3.0-pre4/FAQ.

Don't forget to run the alsa-driver-0.3.0-pre4/snddevices script.
