I need help setting up alsa-driver as oss replacement for 
a SoundBlaster Vibra16x card. It can be handled as PnP-device or just as
a normal ISA card.
I'm using the following /etc/conf.modules:

alias char-major-14 snd
alias snd-minor-oss-0 snd-sb16    
alias snd-minor-oss-3 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-minor-oss 4 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-5 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-12 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-sb16
options snd snd_major=14 snd_cards_limit=1
options snd-sb16 snd_port=0x220 snd_mpu_port=0x330 snd_irq=5 snd_dma8=1 snd_dma=16

I use the alsasound script provided in ./utils to start the driver.
result:
- the module snd-pcm1-oss isn't loaded
- even after having loaded snd-pcm1-oss manually /proc/sound/0/pcm0 says:

  DSP v4.16

  Playback isn't active.
  Record isn't active.

- /dev/sndstat says:

  Config options: 0

  Installed drivers: 
  Type 10: ALSA emulation

  Card config: 
  Sound Blaster 16 at 0x220, irq 5, dma 1&7

  Audio devices: 
  0: DSP v4.16

  Synth devices: 
  0: OPL3 FM

  Midi devices: 
  0: MPU-401 (UART)

  Timers: 
  7: system timer

  Mixers: 
  0: CTL1745


some notes that might be helpful to find the problem:
- without second dma channel (dma16) the driver works fine for non-OSS
  purposes
- oss-linux refuses to work (kernel 2.0.34) either

  
thank you for help, C.K.
                                               .
