That would mean backport of already present oss kernel modules or are
theses OSS kernel modules was removed previously and only the compat
layer was available ?
I think the latter, but I'm not very sure. I was wondering if anyone
here did some tests.
What is the "userland" needs for that ?
In my case (vlc), Iv'e disabled the oss support (along with v4l1) by F-11
I disabled OSS in some of my packages too. But if OSSv4 works better
than ALSA for some users, it is worth considering. I guess we need to
do more research.
I'm not against to have some experiments done externally from
rpmfusion
(read: I would allow it a "tobedefined" rpmfusion-experimental), but
not if this mean recompilation of userland applications.

I agree.
