I've run OSS on 7.2pro before, but it was after I managed to break ALSA in a
Mantel kernel upgrade (I've had OSS for years, but only use it when I have
to).
Basically, I'd try the following (as it's basically what I did):
- - Go to ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mantel/next/rpm and grab a new kernel
and the associated sources. Do an rpm -Uvh for both (yes, you can always back
out to the originals if you run into trouble)
- - Grab the latest OSS from http://www.4front-tech.com
If any of that doesn't work, try their support. I used it once about 3 years
ago and got an informative human reply within 15 minutes (beating my previous
Matrox record of 30 minutes).

That would be *really* cool.
