In many cases, OSS was used when the builder forgot to install the
alsa-lib development headers. This should not be an issue anymore, as
ALSA is now required on Linux by default.

I believe the fallback to OSS from ALSA and PulseAudio is causing more
confusion than it solves problem. Besides, the OSS emulation by ALSA
cannot mix, so OSS is almost completely useless on Linux, unless OSSv4
was specifically installed.

Moreover, Linux distributions have started dropping OSS completely.
