There's no problem yet, but it will as soon as you install 
snd_usb_audio while the OSS-modules are still present. I had 
lots of troubles with damaged sysex packages.

As I got my Gentoo box snd_usb_audio was already there.

OTOH, I'm currently running a vanilla 2.6.10 with the RT-LSM 
applied and I'm relatively happy with it.

If you plan to build your own kernel, let me know and I'll 
give some hints.


Best regards
