There are a few different sound drivers to consider:
1. FreeOSS
Built into your Linux kernel
If your soundcard is supported, it doesn't hurt to try these first.
2. ALSA
http://www.alsa-project.org
For users willing to try something new, ALSA is where you should really
consider.
3. OSS - Commercial greatly improved form of FreeOSS
http://www.opensound.com/
For users that have issues getting their sound to work,
I recommend paying for a license.
As for apt sources, I've created a mirror of the ones I use:
It's a simple addition to the hosts I manage, and I can add more mirrors there
as I need to. There's nothing like hitting a downed apt source when doing an
update/upgrade - thus this mirror. I've been building from the list at
http://apt-get .org - if anyone has other useful sources, I'd love to hear
about them.
