Go into the sound preferences menu of the app and check which device it uses. If it's something like /dev/dsp or /dev/audio it's using OSS. If it looks like "default" or "hw:0" it's ALSA. If your app does not have any sound preferences menu it's broken and you should file a bug report. You can determine whether an app with no configurable sound device is using ALSA by running "strace broken_app" and grep the output for "/dev/dsp" or "/dev/audio".
