Does anyone else here use ALSA? And, if so, have you had any problems with it? It refuses to be usable for me.

I only had some minor problems using ALSA as a module.
Once it was build in the kernel(default for 2.6) I never had any problems with it.  
(I still prefer OSS for modular use.)

What kind of problems do you mean?

Slackware 10.0 has ALSA as default.  If you have the hotplug script set to run at bootup, the modules get loaded automatically (provided you have them built).  I have an onboard AC97/Intel i810 card, and it works perfectly with 2.4.26/27 (but no mixing, due to it not having hardware mixing).

What's it doing to you, flap?

Well the first problem, with which I can just about live, is that there's a very noticeable delay in XMMS when seeking. But the thing that's made me ditch it and go back to OSS again (this is the second time I've tried to start using ALSA) is the occasional choppiness of the sound when the system is under heavy load.
This is using an audigy, Slack 10, 2.4.27.

The 'heavy load' problem is normal.
This is why it's now build-in.
I only recommend ALSA for 2.6.
