Open Sound System

I got this Dell workstation and I've installed oss. Anytime oss start it hangs almost instantly so I have to power-cycle machine. I have tried both 4.2.2002 and oss-devel with same result. ⋅  lspci -vvv ⋅ In Vista's device manager it reports as SoundMAX Integrated Digital High De...
