Using the source rpm seems easier then a kernel recomplile. I just know what
was said on http://freshrpms.net/docs/alsa/ :) Or compile alsa from source
(there are good instructions on http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ ).
And with the change of ad1848 to opl3sa2 to get the
_right_ OSS driver you you should get sound using the OSS instead of the
ALSA drivers. RedHat, Mandrake and Knoppix just add an inadequate
line to /etc/modules.conf for this old ISA card :(
I Cc to the list, there are other users that may know more...
Good luck,
