@Joe User:
Debian seems ok (I've just tested Sid with 2.6.32 kernel, and snd_pcm_oss module is available).

Probably the only distributions affected by this bug (or should I say "affected by this fix"?) are ubuntu and derivatives, I can confirm the issue on mint 10.

@David:
Yes, having a working mythTV in natty would be a good new indeed, having it working out of the box in maverick would have been even better. Please note that mythTV ALSA support would have been fixed even without OSS sabotage.

Also the way you carefully ignored other parts of my verbose post make me suspect that the message Psychotron read between the lines is correct.
Still I strongly believe that if someone, who participated to the decision that this* was the best way to go, care to share it would be easier for everyone to understand the unquestionable choice of ditching OSS.

*for the sake of clarity: let me repeat once more that with "this" i refer to the decision to totally remove OSS instead of blacklist it, and not about the opportunity to dismiss OSS or not.
