[ltp] Sound on Thinkpad 390

[Tod Harter]

Alsa works fine on the 2.4.x series kernels. 0.5.11 is the latest release 
that is listed as "stable" and seems to work fine for me. MUCH better sound 
quality and general utility than OSS. I'd only consider OSS as a fallback in 
the case where a particular sound card lacks ALSA support or something like 
that. I really don't understand why OSS lives on personally...
