Public bug reported:
According to the package description it is supposed to provide ensure
compatibility to programs that are still trying to access the old
/dev/dsp interface. But it does not do that.
And looking at the list of files provided in the oss-compat package in
Precise, how could it? It supplies only a changelog, a license text
file, and some directories, nothing else. In short the package seems to
be completely useless in Precise. If there is simply no way to supply
/dev/dsp in Precise, please remove oss-compat entirely as it serves no
purpose then.
