Calum:
the main problem for me is that ALL the music programs which can replace the likes of sound forge, rebirth and cooledit require ALSA, and regardless of how i try i cannot get alsa installed, following whoevers instructions, using apt (for red hat 9) or from source (with an awe64 soundblaster). it simply doesn't work, and those programs will not use OSS instead.

emh:
Yeah, I encountered that problem as well.

I finally broke down and gave in. :-p

That's one thing that's great about Mandrake, ALSA is the default sound driver option, so I don't have to mess with trying to install it myself.

I don't know if you've tried it or not, but just in case you haven't, here's a link to an ALSA RPM.

Right here

The only other thing I can suggest is to try a Soundblaster Live card instead.  Aside from that, I'm not really sure.

i don't like mandrake for many other reasons, and sadly i can install alsa using apt-get in red hat, but it doesn't seem to work :-(

i am obviously just not techie enough to figure it out.

emh:
The AWE64 card is an ISA card, right?

Just from what I've read, I've heard that they're a lot harder to get working than PCI cards, in general.

Aside from getting a different sound card, I'm not really sure how else to help, sorry. :-\

bigsleep:
What if you let the BIOS assign the IRQs for the sound card?
