Hello
I have some older programs that require OSS and /dev/dsp I have tried the
pulseaudio trick with padsp but some work and some don't. I have also
edited the
/etc/modprobe/dist-oss-conf and uncommented the line that says
install snd-pcm /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-pcm &&
/sbin/modprobe
snd-pcm-oss && /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-device && /sbin/modprobe
snd-seq-oss
This was supposed to work at least from what I have read to get the modules
back but unfortunately it has not. I have no /dev/dsp at all or any oss
modules when doing
a lsmod. As you can see here

I have tried it with both pulseaudio installed and pulseaudio not installed
and no go either way.
So my question is this, have the OSS modules and support been removed from
the kernel like many other distros have done? If so I will have to rebuild
the kernel to get this functionality back which really is no big deal, but
was hoping someone would know something I do not, thanks in advance.
