I updated osspd accordingly (/etc/modprobe.d/osspd.conf is installed) and upgraded to oss-compat 3, but the oss modules are still loaded: $ lsmod | grep oss snd_pcm_oss 37079 0 snd_mixer_oss 18035 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 68523 5 snd_pcm_oss,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel snd 53077 21 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_pcm_oss,snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_pcm,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_seq_device,snd_mixer_oss and osspd fails to start, leaving this in dmesg: $ dmesg | grep -i cuse [ 25.951001] CUSE: failed to register chrdev region [ 25.951002] CUSE: failed to register chrdev region > so osspd could just "provide" oss-compat and I could actually have > oss-compat depend on osspd, which would ensure users actually got > pushed to osspd.

Also, osspd uses PulseAudio per default, and the ALSA backend is in bad shape - I am not sure if everybody wanting OSS in Debian is ready to install PulseAudio ;-) . If you leave it a Recommends, Ubuntu users will still get it usually (I doubt most of them disable installation of recommends) while leaving the possibility to opt-out. In the end, of course that's your decision.
