So I had to do some testing and I found, that though I thought I had OSS set up right, apparently I didn't (still don't). Incidentally, alsa version >1.0.9rc2 is supposed to use the dmix plugin automatically, so there should be the sorts of issues. well, okay, its not working for me. If I pull up xmms and set it to use oss, then it takes over the sound and nothing else will work -- alsaplayer reports that it can't get the device and just uses the null plugin. something isn't right. I think you need to make sure you've got no other sound apps running and see if you get your gnome sounds then.
