About this last bug no /dev/mixer and so,

I now found out That kernel 2.6.35.21-generic config gives
CONFIG_SOUND=m
# CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE is not set
CONFIG_SND=m
CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM=m
CONFIG_SND_HWDEP=m
CONFIG_SND_RAWMIDI=m
CONFIG_SND_JACK=y
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY=m
# CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS is not set
# CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS is not set
# CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS is not set

So indeed oss emu not enabled. So just for test I took the linux kernel source 2.6.35.21 (the patched for ubuntu)
Used the original 2.6.35.21 config file but just enabled the oss support into it.
Then I compiled this with fakeroot,

The result now

CONFIG_SOUND=m
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE=y
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM=y
CONFIG_SND=m
CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM=m
CONFIG_SND_HWDEP=m
CONFIG_SND_RAWMIDI=m
CONFIG_SND_JACK=y
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY=m
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS_PLUGINS=y
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y

And yes it all runs fine.
So the only thing which has to be done is enbale the oss into the next maverick generic kernel upgrade and this bug is
SOLVED
