Hi: Just a bit of clarification. Both the kernel drivers and the commercial set are OSS with the kernel set called OSSfree. I think the commercial set has another suffix but I'm not sure. People often use the term OSS to refer to the kernel drivers which is not technically wrong as the kernel drivers are simply a subset of the commercial OSS drivers. For the ALSA drivers the drivers come in one big set and you can compile for just your card or all of them as you wish. Geoff.
