Unfortunately, osspd can’t be imposed on everyone, because there are multiple
approaches (as is often the case): for users using PulseAudio, padsp is the
best solution; for users using ALSA, possibly shared, alsa-oss is the best
solution; in some other cases, osspd is appropriate; in yet other cases,
oss-compat is appropriate...

Ideally, oss-compat should sort this all out (speaking with my oss-compat
maintainer hat on), but it doesn’t currently.
