Bug Description
To my knowledge OSS was completely and purposefully removed from Linux and builds of Linux that Ubuntu uses.
As a result kernel compile options such as these...
CONFIG_
CONFIG_
Were _not_ in the config-
But in 12.04, 12.10 and (so far unreleased) 13.04 I can see that they're back.
Spoken with several people in #ubuntu-kernel who believe this is an accidental regression and they shouldn't be there.
The CONFIG_
OSS Proxy it seems has found it's in to being packaged for Debian Sid and thus has been copied over for 13.04 - yet this package will be useless without this kernel option fix.
I'd like to request these obivously strange options be removed or turned off on compiling the kernel we'll all use in 13.04 at least.
Thanks

UBUNTU: [Config] re-disable CONFIG_SOUND_OSS
We intended to turn off CONFIG_SOUND_OSS in maverick timeframe:
https:/ /lists. ubuntu. com/archives/ kernel- team/2010- May/010647. html
We inadvertantly reenabled it for some early ARM work in the commit
below:
commit d5a54f43f357d48 14f2c3d53ca3d5c 3f6fddebe0
Author: Andy Whitcroft <email address hidden>
Date: Thu Jan 12 14:32:10 2012 +0000
UBUNTU: [Config] pull ARM sound modules =m
These being enabled prevent the very userspace shims we intended to use
for OSS consumers, given that none of them are enabled in the current
kernel. The will trivially turn off now as they are not being used by
any drivers.
