Maybe you didn't load the oss compatibility modules? Could you send your alsa-modules configuration and the output of "lsmod | grep snd"?

That might be it. Here's my output:

grisey:/etc/init.d# lsmod | grep snd snd-ali5451 11660 0 snd-pcm 57120 0 [snd-ali5451] snd-timer 11176 0 [snd-pcm] snd-ac97-codec 24804 0 [snd-ali5451] snd 30860 0 [snd-ali5451 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec] soundcore 3556 0 [snd]

Yes, there are no OSS-compatibility module. It should have these as well at least: snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-rawmidi. You could try manually modprobing them, but better put them in your alsa-modules configuration under /etc/modutils/ like:

alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

then run "update-modutils"

With this combination, asound plays o.k. and alsamixer works.

This is only using alsa itself. With the oss-modules loaded, OSS apps should work as well.

BTW, in my first mail I didn't realize it used an old pd version installed by Debian (0.34). With the new one (after deinstalling the old one), I get the following error:

couldn't open MIDI output device 1 opened 0 MIDI input device(s) and 0 MIDI output device(s). /dev/dsp (read/write): No such device (now will try write-only...) /dev/dsp (writeonly): No such device error: OSS: SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS failed /dev/dsp audio I/O stuck... closing audio

See above, you seem to miss the OSS-compatibility modules. Are you using ALSA 0.5 or 0.9? If 0.9 you could try my unofficial 0.35 Debian packages on footils.org. It's still test17, I'll put up the latest version the next days.
