    The ALSA driver worked back when I tried it out 2 years ago. I
asked for them to release an OSS version, but of course they ignored
by request, then some months later released an ALSA version.
    There's a preliminary xfi driver in OSS 4.x (and OSS still has a
BSD compatible license), but it's far from complete [and the author is
aware of this :)].
Thanks!
