i cannot get sound to work in dosbox at all... i get these errors

1DOSBox version 0.72

13MIXER:Can't open audio: No available audio device , running in nosound mode.
14ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
15ALSA:Can't open sequencer
16MIDI:Opened device:none

now because the X-Fi drivers from creative refuse to install i have to use OSS4 to get sound working so all these ALSA errors are explained... so the question is how do i get sound working?

i would greatly appreciate some form of assistance... even a simple "maybe in a future version" would be better than silence

here's what it's saying now

well libsdl can't open your audio device. Nothing we can do about that.
maybe try installing a different type of sdl if you distribution has more
