Is this new software for some old hardware?

It's certainly possible, in theory, but when I look at the 2.4 compatibility code in the alsa-driver package, I'd estimate that writing this amount of code from scratch would not make sense for you. The 2.4 kernels have an old veriosn of OSS built in, and most 2.4 distributions included ALSA, which has OSS emulation, so you might want to use one of those. (But then I don't know if your application requires some feature of OSS4's implementation of the API.)
