2 sound cards one using OSS4, other ALSA
So, is it possible to have 2 sound cards where one will use OSS4 and other will use ALSA?

dflt,
In a word, no.
OSS is depreciated & is no longer compiled into the Arch Linux kernel.
Second, running two sound cards enabled will usually cause conflicts.

Re: 2 sound cards one using OSS4, other ALSA
When you use oss4, one of the things it does is remove/disable all the alsa drivers that come with the kernel.
Both oss4 and alsa try to take full control of all audio devices so without changes to oss4 and/or driver cherry picking/modification I suppose it will not work.
