Unfortunately padsp uses $LD_PRELOAD so it doesn't work with statically
linked binaries like some older Linux games - for example, Rilroad
Tycoon 2. Backward compatibility matters! Would it be possible to
provide a daemon which listens on /dev/dsp and forwards to PulseAudio?

told right away that the package is essentially non-functional?

Title:
oss-compat does install a file, /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf. The
idea is to load the OSS compatibility modules; these are no longer
provided in the Ubuntu kernels, so in Precise it's only useful for users
who rebuild a kernel with the appropriate configuration (so it's not
really useful!).
