(pulse -> oss) 772 I think Ubuntu is set by default to use pulse audio driver. How do I change to OSS? Some softwares that I am using only allow this type of sound driver to use corectly the sound system.

If you're considering using OSS4, you should probably use another Linux distro like Arch Linux For legacy apps that insist on using a OSS device, you should look at using padsp which is the pulseaudio wrapper for OSS: If application foo needs to use OSS devices, simply run: padsp foo. It will emulate /dev/dsp and related devices, and redirect data between foo and these devices to PulseAudio.
