Public bug reported:
To my knowledge OSS was completely and purposefully removed from Linux
and builds of Linux that Ubuntu uses.
As a result kernel compile options such as these...
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE=y
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM=y
Were _not_ in the config-3.8.01-generic of the kernel that shipped with
11.10... no mention of them at all in the file
But in 12.04, 12.10 and (so far unreleased) 13.04 I can see that they're
back.
Spoken with several people in #ubuntu-kernel who believe this is an
accidental regression and they shouldn't be there.
The CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM is particularly a problem as it makes
sure the device numbers for things like /dev/dsp are hogged all the time
by the kernel... and since the kernel has no OSS backwards compatibility
any more - it's just causing problems for OSS emulation software like
osspd (OSS Proxy) to assume those device numbers for itself.
OSS Proxy it seems has found it's in to being packaged for Debian Sid
and thus has been copied over for 13.04 - yet this package will be
useless without this kernel option fix.
I'd like to request these obivously strange options be removed or turned
off on compiling the kernel we'll all use in 13.04 at least.
Thanks
