To the best of my knowledge, there's nothing special about how chan_oss 
uses the OSS drivers that would make it fail on this chipset in 
particular. I can only assume therefore that OSS isn't configured 
properly on your machine. Is this the case? Do other OSS applications 
work properly?

I used to have VIA82C686 support built into the kernel, and chan_oss 
worked fine with it. I now use the snd-via82xx ALSA driver with 
snd-pcm-oss module for OSS emulation/compatibility layer and that also 
works fine.
