I use the snd_intel8x0 alsa driver on both of my SN41G2 systems (nforce2 based). Works in every way you'd expect ALSA drivers to work, so yes esound and OSS support works fine. I wasn't aware of the forcedeth patch, so I have no experience with it. However, I will be looking into trying it soon. -- Jamin W.
