    Sure, why not. It installs a wrapper, a headings file and a library.


        Surely there is a way to do this, somewhere. :/

There is this link:

That seems to say you can still install the real OSS.

The first step is to build a kernel with it included:

   Device Drivers  --->
           <M> Sound card support  --->
                --- Sound card support
                < >   Advanced Linux Sound Architecture --->
                < >   Open Sound System (DEPRECATED) --->

Of course, since it is marked DEPRECATED, you don't know how well the driver will work.
