 Hm, currently I do not know by myself how to do so, but I'll
 figure this out the next days. Is it save to deactivate all
 OSS support in general in the kernel config, or will this
 cause the ALSA OSS emulation to be not working? 
The file is (in Debian at least) /etc/hotplug/blacklist. Placing the offending 
OSS driver names there prevents the hotplug system from loading them. You 
only need to blacklist ones such as usb-audio and usb-midi that are indeed 
loaded by hotplug and conflict.

Another similar program is "Discover". If you are using this, then
"sound" and 
such should be excluded.

Alsa has an OSS compatibility so that applications that use OSS can still run.
