    Yup (sorta). I found that ALSA 0.9.0pre6 works nicely.

    I didn't think it was working at first, because ALSA defaults to having all
    channels muted when the drivers are loaded. It _does_ warn about this, but I
    thought just raising the volume would be enough. Turns out that ALSA controls
    _hardware-based_ muting. The OSS-emulation layer is not enough to turn off
    the muting, you need a native ALSA-aware mixer. "Mute" is OSS just means
    "volume=0", but in ALSA muting really does mute the output, no matter what
    the volume is set to.

    Beware, that is you download the (newly available) ALSA drivers from ASUS's
    download site, it includes ONLY the drivers, and your OSS-based mixer will
    not be able to unmute the channels. You will need to download the ALSA-libs,
    and ALSA-tools to be able to do anything useful.

    Regards,
    Ian Morgan
