I solved the problem thus: 1) Removed all alsa packages. 2) Installed alsa-source 3) Built the deb package using rules binary-modules 4) apt-get installed it (apt-get automatically pulled in the alsa-base and alsa-utils) 5) used modconf to remove the OSS driver That did the trick. However there seems to be another warning : intel8x0: clocking to 47423 devfs_register(audio): could not append to parent, err: -17 ALSA seq_oss.c:223: can't register device seq Don't know what's wrong :( But alsa plays my mp3s and system sounds and that is good news.
