I'm undecided about this. I'm not sure if the default setup should include OSS sound support or not. Perhaps it would be better left as something that users install if they need it. As we'll eventually have to go through all the packages that require soundwrapper, perhaps we could either: a) Replace the soundwrapper require with a ossp require. b) Patch soundwrapper such that it's a noop if osspd is running and make it require ossp. The latter would mean less churn on packages, but it's arguably just delaying the inevitable work of doing it eventually. Thoughts?
