 Perhaps we should insist a bit :) . 
 
They probably are referring to the in-kernel OSS emulation, which I am
sure does just work, as long as the card has hardware mixing and volume
control.  Unfortunately, if you are stuck with an el cheapo device that
needs softvol and/or dmix, it does not seem to work too well.
Looks like Peter Zubaj is trying to debug the aoss problem further:
