Installing OSS sound device from Fedora to Gentoo (Daphile)

[Dave the Rave]

Hi,
I have a working Vortexbox (Fedora) server running Squeezebox LMS and outputting sound via a propriety OSS sound device called Lynx2.
I have another player which I boot in the same server using a USB installed version of Daphile which runs under Gentoo.
I wanted Daphile to recognise the OSS sound device (on the Fedora driven Vortexbox hardware) but it does not work.

Tried to copy the OSS files from Fedora to Daphile respective directories. But I cant copy the /dev/sound files due to Symlink error message. still Daphile does not recognise the OSS sound device.
Wanted to avoid recompiling OSS into Daphile as it needs a lot of work given Daphile is a lightweight Gentoo sound oriented software.
Anyway I can get the OSS device work on Daphile?
Thank you

With recent kernel versions, the only supported sound driver is ALSA, which imply OSS is emulated. That imply than CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM must not be set in order to use an alternative OSS implementation.

Even if you can compile and install your own kernel, I don't know if your OSS sound card will work without to compile your OSS driver against the kernel.
