Real problem is that we can expect several "sound does not work anymore"

Perhaps the real problem is more Kconfig than OSS, but it would be fine if
we found a solution to enumerate the list of options which have been removed
when they do their make oldconfig.

I doubt there are that many users of the old OSS drivers. Even
proprietary apps like Flash and Skype require ALSA these days.
