The big
«IN PARTICULAR ALL AC97 SOUND DEVICES ARE SUPPORTED BY OSS EVEN THEY ARE NOT
LISTED HERE. ALSO ALL MOTHERBOARD CHIPSETS ARE SUPPORTED OR AT LEAST WILL BE
SUPPORTED WITHIN FEW WEEKS FROM THEIR ANNOUNCEMENT.»

In the beginning of the list [0] means that all ac97
sound devices are supported by OSS.
Thus I don't know how you're doing, but my earphone plug
(ending into an AC '97 sound board) is supported...
