I have been using OSSv4 quite happily on Jaunty. I have been holding out from upgrading to Karmic because I have working sound and understand Ubuntu have gone with PulseAudio at the exclusion of everything else. I would like to easily switch between different sound systems without breaking the system I have. Have you tried switching to a KDE version of Ubuntu (do they support a KubuntuStudio)? As I understand it, KDE has its own sound system, and last I tried I had working sound through it. - Reece
