OSSv4 is a piece of shit.
I tried it a few days ago and it was completly and utterly broken. So much about 'better'. The only good thing was the mixer app. That was cool. The rest was a suckfest.
With alsa I need nothing to do to get working sound every time. With OSSv4 sound suddenly went completly nuts, everything sounding like machine gun fire in a steelmill. Working one moment, not working, working again, not working until reboot (or loading alsa).
CRAP. Pure, refined, crap.
Just don't use idiotic sound deamons like pulseaudio-shit, gstreamer-garbage, esd-manure or artsd-urine and you should be very fine with alsa.
