Hey, MIke. Okay, this is strange. The output from running Vega Strike using OSS is exactly the same as it is when running it with ALSA. What got me is that the error being reported is different than it had been. To try to ease the confusion I went back to the 2.6.10-ck1 kernel that I had started with (I never removed it) and made sure that just the OSS modules were loaded. I guess the difference is is the isapnputils setting up the awe64 sound card. *shrug* Again, this is after copying the configuration file into ~/.vegastrike.4.x/

Looks like it's still trying to configure the sound, even though I've selected for it not to. Let me know what you think, Mike.
