That is so not true.
For at least the past three releases, Mandrake has used ALSA by default, if
the driver exists for your sound card.

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, 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.
