Because they're the ones with the driver that you want. It's your choice:
write the code yourself, buy the driver from OSS, or go without sound.

As you've discovered, there isn't a freely available driver for your
soundcard. Soundcards that have freely available drivers aren't that
expensive, I think I paid $20 for my Ensoniq card. 'bout the same I would
have paid for the OSS driver for my old sound card if OSS had support for it
at the time.
Do you also feel like you should be handed Xess for free? Motif? You want
the cool toys, you ante up the bucks.

And you're the one offering it up for the world on this mailing list.
Do you suppose I could tell the cops that they shouldn't arrest me for
selling crack, because someone else sold it to me?!

Real intelligent.
Just as a warning, I'm forwarding this thread to OSS. If we can't shame you
into being honest, maybe they can convince you.
