[Bug 72005] OSS apps no longer works, just ALSA, strange hal-device output

[LGB [Gábor Lénárt]]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hal

I've a bug I can't assign a package easily so I'm reporting it as a HAL
bug just because hal-device-manager also shows the problem for example.
This is an AMD64 box with Ubuntu 6.10. I had an SB Live! soundcard,
softwares written for making sound though both of ALSA and OSS are
worked fine. However I've installed a TV tuner card yesterday (Cinergy
TV400, SAA7134 chip based). First, I had to play to reorder my PCI card
because sound and tuner card affected each other (even lspci don't show
one), but now both of them works. However only for ALSA! It seems, audio
capabilities of SAA7134 is treated as primary (I even had to use Gnome's
sound preferences to set default sound card from SAA7134 to SB Live!)
because ALSA apps tried use SAA7134 by default. Ok, it's done. However
OSS emulation of ALSA has problems: it tries to use SAA7134, so OSS apps
can't make sound now. How can I set up OSS apps to go on working?
However the strange thing (the fact that I report this as bug of HAL
for): even hal-device-manager states that both of "SB Live! EMU10k1" and
"SAA7134 video broadcast decoder" has item "SAA 7134 OSS Midi Device",
the latter one has got this three times ...  Please note that it does
not disturb me too much, my one problem that OSS apps should continue to
work with my SB Live! however I can't rank this problem for a package
easily as I've written. Maybe it's an ALSA bug, or is it only the lack
of some config settings somewhere?
