(Get the code!)
OSS is NOT depreciated ! It an absurdity ! OSS3 is depreciated ! OSS4 is maintained and ALSA OSS emulation is not depreciated (no mention of that in the kernel documentation).
OSS is still used in a lot of Unix like, FreeBSD for exemple, and OSS API emulation is one of the most important part of the interoperability inside free software desktop solutions !
I know that pulseaudio can be an common intermediate between every sound API, but pulseaudio is not perfectly compatible with OSS API and it seems that OSS in pulseaudio is depreciated too ! We are in a dead end !
Like I said before, we have to work on OSSp integration or ALSA OSS emulation in a separate package, and before that append, we NEED alsa oss in the main kernel because it is the only way now to get it working ...
It don't know how to say that in english clearly but you are making things in disorder ... Or I don't know how to say that, but you need the replacement before dropping a good functioning (but not perfect) feature ...
