These days it might be an advantage again to install install the sound part of the nforce drivers (other parts are fine in the kernel). Before the sound driver was quite basic (was based on the i810 ac97 driver). The current nforce sound driver bundled in the driver package is based on the windows driver (unfortunately closed source) but it is way more advanced than the opensource alsa/oss drivers. It can utilize soundstorm if you have it.
