Well, there was a slight improvement: I managed to get 22 seconds into a
track before it locked up, an increase of 3 seconds above my previous
personal best :-)

Yeah, I got stuck on that, and tried going back to XMMS, since that was
supposed to work with the OSS setup that I already had.
One thing that I worried about in installing alsa is that, as I
understood the instructions, doing it would remove my current OSS setup,
so that if the installation continued to fail I would be left with no
sound at all. Is this correct?

This might be worth doing. One worry: I have only about 50 MB left on my
/ partition. Would I have enough space to build the kernel? (I suspect
that I have a bunch of irrelevant crap lying around on the drive. Do you
know of either a tool or documentation that would help me hunt it down
and scour it out?)
