I wasn't able to get any signal out through SPDIF (optical) when using
ALSA, so I - or more specifically a more experienced friend of mine -
switched to OSS. I was under the impression that this hindered me from
getting any sound out of flash and that I needed this package to
remedy this problem, but bug #573846 <

I haven't been able to make that work at all, but it might be worth
having another shot at.
