I'm not sure I understand. OSS is ( was?) supposed to be GPL, right? How can 
the license expire?

Anyways, got the solution. Unloaded all the OSS modules i.e i810_audio and 
ac97_codec. Installed alsa using apt-get install alsa. Configured the card 
using alsaconf. Adjusted the mixer settings using alsamixer. Did alsactl 
store. Now everything works!

Thanks,
