Suse is the only distro that comes with ALSA by default, that what I
started with, but moved to redhat because I needed to learn it for work,
and then just stuck with it when I discovered ccrma.

What's up with that?
I would guess it's a function of being popular among normal
(non-kernel-compiling ;) ) users, combined with not having anything of the
stature of Planet CCRMA available currently. (Thac's RPM's are a start, but
there are weird issues with a few of the RPM's and most people don't actually
know about it so there's a lot of reinventing the wheel going on.)
Meanwhile, Mandrake's never been too good at turning on things like MIDI
support or ALSA by default. I think I'm using OSS/Free here in 9.0 for
example. It sounds like 9.1 may have finally made that right.
