This is normal. The alsa-oss package is a wrapper for non-alsa
applications. The snd-seq-oss and snd-pcm_oss are drivers that help
translate OSS calls to ALSA at the kernel level, whereas the alsa-oss
package contains a library that converts OSS system calls to alsa system
calls. The driver version is better for applications that need direct
hardware control, the alsa-oss libraries are better for sharing the
sound codec between multiple applications.
