ALSA is not really a problem (the default on most if not all distros
now) ALSA provides the OSS emulation that allows use of the /dev/dsp
for capture when using a framegrabber capture card. As long as you get
sound working, it doesn't matter! Note that MythTV supports both ALSA
and OSS anyway.

If you want to use ALSA for _playback_, your output device is usually
ALSA:default, and you can use the alsamixer program to configure your
volume levels.
