Bug#600079: OSS support for jackd2 on GNU/Linux

[Steven McDonald]

Package: jackd2
Version: 1.9.5~dfsg-19
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

While jackd1 uses OSS on Linux kernels just fine, jackd2 does not provide this
option. Since Debian makes the installation of OSSv4 quick and painless with
DKMS, I think that it would make sense for jackd2 to give users the option of
using it.
