If you are adventurous and wish to try something else than the OSS system there is the alsa system which supports a fairly broad variety of sound cards <http://alsa.jcu.cz/src/soundcards.html> and is supposedly fairly backwards compatible with OSS applications. If you decide to stick with OSS there is a listing of sound cards that are supported by it, and remember that SB compatible doesn't mean that will work with the SB drives in OSS, although a few do. Hope this helps steer you in the right direction towards a soundcard.
