On Linux, it enables the ALSA compatibility modules. On other kernels where OSS is the default interface, no action is taken. . The purpose of this package is for applications that only support OSS to depend on it, hence preventing common "/dev/dsp not found" errors that would confuse unexperienced users. . On Linux platforms a better approach nowadays is to use osspd, which emulates OSS devices using ALSA or PulseAudio.
