2.6.1 kernel + alsa, oss emulation not working

[kronon]

I have made a kernel with alsa + oss emulation compiled in. For some reason xmms can acces and use the oss sound system. But ALL other program's I tried can, acces it, some lock up some disable the sound or something.

Specs:
-Linux version 2.6.1-rc3-gentoo (root@blackwidow) (gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r3, propolice))
-Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, In VT8233 AC97 Audio Co (rev 80).
IRQ 5.
I/O at 0xd800 [0xd8ff].

I find it very strainge that xmm can use oss but all other program's can't. Can some one please help me because I can't realy play enemey territory without sound (it only knows oss).

So plz can some one help me?

EDIT: Didn't think I would find it but I found a way to play et with alsa. Still I would like to have a working oss. Thnx in adv.

Do not compile alsa into the kernel. Build as modules.
You will need to add snd-via82xx to your modules.autoload.
And then make sure you have something like this in your /etc/modules.d/alsa
