Actually it seems to crash before the sound modules are even loaded, so
I'm no longer sure it is dmasound-related, but it definitely only occurs in
2.4.
Still, even without OSS enabled, sound behaves very badly. The speaker tends
to mute in the middle of playing a file, and some apps like wmapm or
wmmon mysteriously crash while sound output is active.

The "modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0" and
"modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1" messages still appear when
I'm starting gmix.
