Status so far:
I got it working with OSS. Turns out the Vibra 16 is not compatible with alsa. Please move along.
sudo modprobe soundcore
sudo modprobe sb
sndconfig (from apt-get) I can hear the sample sound!
alsaconf (error. no alsa driver found) (Yes I have dsl alsa as boot option)
I believe snd-sb16 is the alsa driver. I tried "insmod -sv snd-sb16 snd_irq=5 snd_port=0x220 snd_dma8=1 snd_dma16=5 snd_mpu_port=0x330" but I got a lot of undefined symbols. After searching around, I found out that alsa is not compatible with my vibra 16.
Rebooted (with alsa errors) I can play .ogg audio files with sox! (after copying sox play to /usr/bin and libmp3lame.so.0 to /usr/lib. There is more work left to be done here. It appears that sox didn't install fully.)
XMMS works and so does the volume control on the lower right. Surprisingly, xmms uses far less CPU than sox play from the command line. This is such an old laptop (586/150MHz, 13MB RAM) that just having it work is "good enuff" for me if I can just close my eyes and ignore the alsa (no cards found) errors at boot.
Nope, I finally reverted to an OSS-only configuration: I did a dpkg -l | grep alsa and removed all of that with apt-get remove. Got rid of the dsl alsa boot option in LILO. Did a rm -rf /etc/init.d/alsa* Then of course sound didn't work. But I ran sndconfig again and it all works with no errors.
