You don't need to install ALSA. You can do it if you don't like to use OSS. But if you have a great running SB16 with OSS, why switching to ALSA? I have a Soundblaster Life Player running with OSS-lite. This one that's part of the kernel. I mean it is only neccessary to install ALSA for soundcards, they are not supportet in OSS.
