Matt,

We've been using the ALSA drivers for about 18 months on our main node,
using the Vibra PCI-128 audio card in the audio machine. More recently
we've been using the on board audio chip of a new motherboard in the
display machine, also with the ALSA driver (we run our display machine
with Linux, not Windows).

Our second node is a single machine node (running Linux) using the ALSA
driver for the motherboard's soundchip. It also has the standard 3
video inputs.

Conclusion - with the sound chips we've tried, ALSA works fine.
