I installed the OSS demo after not being able to get the RedHat modules to
work, and which proved that the sound would work.  My question is about
getting the RedHat sound modules to work and if _they_ are compatible, not
the OSS system.

What do you mean by kernel driver?  I mean the modules that come with the
RedHat 2.0.35 kernal in the misc directory.  Am I missing something basic
about the kernal modules and how they work?
