The generic kernel of maverick seems to be completely without any oss:
me@maverick-host:~$ grep OSS '/boot/config-2.6.35-15-generic':
..
..
# CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE is not set
# CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS is not set
# CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS is not set
# CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS is not set

In Lucid OSS was at least available as a module:
me@lucid-host:~$ grep OSS /boot/config- 2.6.32- 24-generic: SOUND_OSS_ CORE=y SOUND_OSS_ CORE_PRECLAIM= y SND_OSSEMUL= y SND_MIXER_ OSS=m SND_PCM_ OSS=m SND_PCM_ OSS_PLUGINS= y SND_SEQUENCER_ OSS=y

But If there is no oss at all, why are there still the 'oss-compat' package etc..?
A lot of software stil needs oss as sound interface!
