For the programs that are oss-only a useflag shouldn't even exists, because 
it's not optional.
All systems I maintain (about 15 different hardware/software specs) have -oss 
and work as expected. I'm interested if someone on this list has 
hardware/software where oss is preferred over alsa?
Does anybody knows if the default setup of other distros include 
"oss-compiled" packages?
