** Description changed:

- Actually it looks like oss4-dkms could never, and has never, installed
- successfully in natty.
+ IMPACT:
  
- Steps to reproduce the bug:
-     sudo apt-get install oss4-dkms
+ oss4-dkms 4.2-build2003-1ubuntu1 does not install successfully in Ubuntu 
11.04. It appears it has never been able to with the natty kernel, because of 
this change to fs.h:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.36.y.git;a=commitdiff;h=b19dd42faf413b4705d4adb38521e82d73fa4249
  
- Optionally, to verify you're getting the same build failure:
-     sudo make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build 
SUBDIRS=/var/lib/dkms/oss4/4.2-build2003/build/core modules
+ FIX:
+ 
+ Used the patch from upstream:
+     
http://opensound.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/opensound/opensound/rev/c63e54ba4988
+ which is already in oneiric (via v4.2-build2004).
+ The fix simply omits structure fields that no longer exist in kernel 2.6.36 
and later.
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ 
+ 1. sudo apt-get install oss4-dkms
+ 2. Terminal output shows an error:
+ Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.38-8-generic (x86_64)
+ Consult the make.log in the build directory
+ /var/lib/dkms/oss4/4.2-build2003/build/ for more information.
+  * Unloading Open Sound System kernel modules:                           [ OK 
] 
+  * Starting Open Sound System:                                           
[fail]
+ 
+ REGRESSION POTENTIAL:
+ 
+ Minimal. It really can't be worse than never having worked at all in
+ natty.
