Are there any OSS drivers for any particular cards for which we don't have an equivalent ALSA driver ? If we're ultimately going to be dropping any of the OSS drivers, I'd rather know about it so I don't waste time pushing the ~200kb of patches in that area I'm currently carrying towards Linus. (Given that most of them don't compile right now due to the collateral damage from the cli() etc changes , I'd *love* to take the lazy^Weasy option and just drop them)
