Hmm. I was just using OSS emulation on top of ALSA, and that worked nicely OOB (cmix for volume, mpg123 for audio)
Also, I suspect that the alsactl command will be different on some hardware.

So you don't have Links2 yet? 

Dependencies:
CLI:
Minimal:
 openssl | gnutls
 ncurses
Enhancements:
 libz, liblzma, bzip2 (transparent decompression)
 -libz, while optional, should be enabled or some sites won't work.
GUI:
Minimal:
 libpng (1.2, NOT 1.5!)
 gpm
At least one of:
 linux-headers (for fbdev) | SDL | X11 headers | svgalib |directfb
Extra:
 libjpeg, libtiff (more image formats)

You'll need to specify 
CFLAGS="-D_GNU_SOURCE ..." \
/configure --enable-graphics --with-gpm --with-x --with-fb \
--x-includes=... --x-libraries=... --with-ssl

to get it to build with GUI. I didn't need patches.

If I recall correctly, Dillo3 can be built if you have fltk1.3.
It gives you partial CSS support.

Netsurf would be the other browser to try compiling, IMHO.
And it's unfortunate that OWB seems to be gone; it was a WebKit/SDL browser
