No. There is snd-pcm-oss.ko, which provides working OSS sound, even if
you don't use aoss. Just make sure to load the proper module.
Yes, but isn't this considered to be a temporary transitional thing? It
isn't loaded by default by the debian kernel image at least.
Umm... See these pages:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/aoss

It sounds like both meathods are supported by the alsa devs, but obviously
native Alsa support is prefered,
