Can I use ALSA and OSS?
My system currently runs fine with ALSA. I've recently started using cedega (wine) to run some games. I've read that cedega performs better under OSS. Can I install OSS to my system to only use for cedega, or will the two sound systems conflict?
Thanks

Bad Sia!
Never do 'pacman -Sy' without the 'pacman -Syu'
Bad things will happen.

You should be able to have both installed but you will need to unload the alsa modules and start the oss script whenever needed and vice versa.

You DO notice that's the ONLY place in the beginner's guide where its used that way? Just to ensure the latest python is gotten. And that everything else there uses pacman -S?
To OP, alsa-oss is your best bet, don't change between alsa and oss constantly, most apps will need resetting....

Re: Can I use ALSA and OSS?
If you don't want to install OSS4 (check tha archlinux wiki) then just use the alsa OSS emulation and set cedega sound output to oss.

Re: Can I use ALSA and OSS?
A bit offtopic, but honestly, do no use Cedega. 
Original Wine is a much better nowadays.

Bad beginner's guide!
Someone should really go through it and take those -Sy 's out. Someone other than me that is...
