Assuming you have your kernel source tree loaded....
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
go to the sound section, the oss subsection.
choose your sound driver as part of the kernel.
save and exit menuconfig
make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install
cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-<some abbr>
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-<same abbr as System.map>
Add a section to lilo.conf for the new kernel
Make sure 'image=' uses the same abbr:
image = /boot/vmlinuz-<same abbr>
etc...

run lilo
reboot, choose your new kernel.
If it doesn't boot then reboot, choose the old kernel and find out where you messed up.
