If someone switches to a stock kernel it won't work.

It's not in 2.4.  It's in Mandrake's kernel because it
supports some cards OSS doesn't.

No, if you want to use ALSA when OSS works you can
modify modules.conf.  Stock kernels should work out of
the box.  Alternatively there could be (in expert mode
only) a way to select OSS or ALSA (like
CUPS/Gimp-Print in printerdrake, OSS should be
default).
