Really? AFAIK, ALSA's OSS layer routes pretty much everything
through a separate layer before going through the same processing that
normal ALSA sound goes through, so I'd be pretty surprised if there
was a significant difference there.

The usual problem is that you don't have the modules inserted:
# modprobe snd-pcm-oss
# modprobe snd-mixer-oss
If that works, then put the module names in /etc/modules and it'll
load them on start-up. Oh, and don't forget to run alsamixer and
change the volume off zero...
