I'm using OSS4 for a long time and noticed this error appearing two days ago. I posted about it on the opensound forums: http://www.4front-tech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=11881#11881 Hopefully they'll fix it soon. As for the question whether it's useful on Gentoo, all I did was putting "oss -alsa" in make.conf and everything is working nicely till today, including ESD.
