Try to answer on question "ALSA or OSS ?" using *only* technical arguments.

Ok: The OSS cs46xx driver did not support the rear 2 channels.
The cs46xx OSS driver in the kernel is not our work. This discussion is about _our_ OSS 4.0 so the above is not a valid argument.
Yes it is true .. OSS (Hannu tree) dos not provide rear 2 channels in
cs46xx driver because .. in this OSS tree there is no cs46xx driver :>
The driver for cs46xx/cs4280 devices in OSS 4.0 is called cs4280.c. It's based on the same sample sources from Crystal than the kernel cs46xx one. It doesn't support the rear channels any better which could be an argument. However OSS is now an open source community project so anybody has freedom to fix this problem.
