That is indeed the logical conclusion if the v2 file works whereas the v3
file doesn't. There must be something related to your particular
configuration though since the v3 file does work on some computers ;-).

Could you possibly try the following?
* re-install oss-compat 3
* reboot (with the timeout)
* run
	sudo udevadm --debug trigger --verbose
  to re-attempt to load the sound modules and trace what is attempted

Once oss-compat.conf is removed, it should be possible to configure osspd to
provide OSS devices using either Alsa or PulseAudio. But that's another
issue...
