Bug Description
After upgrade from Jaunty to Maverick sound with older apps is not working anymore. In this particular case tvtime. Investigation showed that the OSS emulation modules are not built with the Maverick kernel. Why is this? Yes I know things like aoss. But this is not exactly elegant and at least with tvtime this is not working properly. Sure OSS might be old and not state of the art, but do these three tiny modules harm anyone? Please put them back into the kernel. Or provide them as add on package to be built with dkms or whatever. I just rebuilt the kernel package with these modules enabled, but I surely don't want to do that for every kernel update that is released. It takes ages and breaks updates.
