@derp Sounds like you have found the source of the problem to me. I'll give it a try also and report back!
I suppose you don't really need to recompile alsa for this fix. You just need to make sure the oss compatibility layer modules are not loaded. The modules seem to get loaded from within /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base. There are only three lines that need to be changed for this as it seems: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep -n oss /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base 13:install snd-pcm /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-pcm && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-pcm-oss ; : ; } 14:install snd-mixer /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-mixer && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-mixer-oss ; : ; } 15:install snd-seq /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-seq && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq-midi ; /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq-oss ; : ; } I just put a # before the &&-s in these lines for now. While not loading oss modules most likely fixes the problem, this might not be the solution Ubuntu will and/or should go for, as it would disable all oss compatibility by default. I would not have a problem with that, but some might. Maybe there is a smarter solution, which just prevents oss compatibility loaded for hda_intel chips. I am looking forward to a comment form Ubuntu officials on that.
