If your machine runs kernel 2.6, it shouldn't have OSS.
lsmod will list your loaded modules. snd_pcm_oss, snd_mixer_oss,
and snd_seq_oss, are all part of the alsa oss emulation.
Yes I have those same ones. dpkg also does not really list any relevant
*oss* package. However, I discovered I have linux-sound-base which
appears to provide oss. And in KDE's sound configuration gui, one of the
systems to choose from is OSS. To me it appears that I do have oss.
Hence the lack of any useful information from Ron's message where he
used the word "shouldn't".
Here's a slightly different question: what makes you think that you
*do* have OSS?
Given that OSS has been deprecated for FIVE years, and I *VERY
STRONGLY* doubt that the Debian Kernel Team have configured the OSS
modules. (I compile my own kernel from linux-source-2.6.xx, so I
can't say for certain.)
So, you might be worried about nothing.
