Package: alsa-source
Version: 0.9.8-3
Severity: normal


Even though I selected to build in OSS compatibility, the OSS compatibility
modules are not configured to load. Even with the proper configuration of
aliases in /etc/modutils/alsa, the modules snd-pcm-oss, snd-mixer-oss, 
snd-seq-oss are not loaded when /etc/init.d/alsa runs. Various device files
such as /dev/dsp are not created (I am running devfsd) until these modules
are loaded.

I had to write entries in /etc/modules by hand to get programs that rely on
/dev/dsp, like macromedia flash, to work properly.
