I did it the other way round... I just canged from ALSA to USP... Only
because of the capability to use the 16 MB RAM with USP... ALSA worked
fine, but I wanted to use the RAM. (GUS only rulez with RAM and the
special capabilities that comes with RAM) ALSA worked fine for me with my
GUS PnP (with and w/o 16MB RAM) and my sb64awe value (onboard 512 KB RAM).
But I couldn't use the special capabilities of it either.
My PC has to many cards and  the bloody sb64 conflicted with my gus - i'm
just using the gus now. As long ALSA will not support my GUS RAM i'll not
use it.
My Problem with USP is: It does not compile with 2.1.126... I think
the module system was changed a lot and USP ist to old to support the new
system.

Final sentence: ALSA worked fine with 2.0.35 and 2.1.126. (exept for the
sb64awe driver...) I got some program crashes using my sb64awe.
