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 ?

What is the "userland" needs for that ?
In my case (vlc), Iv'e disabled the oss support (along with v4l1) by F-11

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.
