This functionality is already part of linux-sound-base. If I remove your oss4-base_no*.conf symlinks from modprobe.d, I can select between OSS4 and ALSA by "dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base" and rebooting. My test kernel had CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE=n. I suppose that telling linux-sound-base "prefer OSS" might pick OSS3 over OSS4 -- if so, then its choices should probably be changed from "OSS/ALSA/auto" to "OSS3/OSS4/ALSA/auto" > to re-enable ALSA, you may simply remove the oss4- core package. While testing oss4, it is important for me to be able to quickly switch between alsa and oss4 -- i.e. with a reboot, rather than adding/removing packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
