No, in fact I've never tried ALSA, but I'm starting to think I should.

Fine, I'm going to try ALSA.

So now I need to know what the proper way is to switch drivers.

I want to do it in such a way that, if it all goes wrong, I can easily get
back to a working config with OSS.

Apart from backing up /etc/modules.conf, what else do I need to back up?

Also, will kudzu keep trying to modprobe emu10k every boot? What do I need
to do to make sure the emu10k module is not probed by any software? Will
anything in Gnome need reconfiguring?

Apart from e.g. changing the xmms output module from OSS to ALSA, what
other obvious specific changes will I need to make?

I going to go googling for answers (and the ALSA project page) but if
anyone has any quick advice, it's appreciated.

Thanks,
