For me, ALSA provided my soundcard with correct functionality. For instance, before compiling in ALSA support and all that jazz, my soundcard would only play sound out of the microphone channel. After compiling it in and everything, my speakers channels play sound correctly. I'm very happy about that. I too had a problem with ALSA in the past, but recently it seems to function without a hitch for me. I might add it worked out my emu10k1 SB Live! card pretty good too. It didn't quite function optimally previous to using ALSA.
