You are confused about the behavior of the app I think.   The main menu always uses the same resolution regardless, the settings refer to the resolution in game , not the resolution the game starts with/does intro movies etc.

It's a problem with calculating the distance of the sounds relative to the listener, it is nothing to do with OSS or ALSA.

What do you mean "lag", lag usually means network latency.
I have never seen any problem with network latency.

As far as framerate, some custom maps perform really poorly but all the ones shipped with the game/patches have been fine for me, on par with windows performance.
