Ah, it looks like they didn't remove OSS properly when they addressed
bug #579300 - they only removed the OSS kernel modules. There are a
handful of applications like aumix that depend on oss-compat (which
doesn't run, as we know) and they should probably have also rebuilt oss-
compat use alsa or pulseaudio libraries, or remove it and the dependent
applications.

I thought there were some pulseaudio-alsa-oss links that might have got
around this but I can't find them in Synaptic.

If you want to build your own kernel and enable the OSS modules (I think
you'll need CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS as well), you could try these guides:
