Kernel OSS vs ALSA

I was wondering if someone could tell me what's happening in kernel
development with regard to the sound system.
>From reading the mailing list I've noted there is work happening regarding
maintaining the OSS modules.
But I thought ALSA modules where slowly taking their place. I note ALSA
4.1c has support for the much talked about devfs, so it looks like they are
reacting to the kernel development.
Am I incorrect in my assumption?

And a couple quick non-kernel specific questions.
Which is better OSS/Free or ALSA?? Why??
Will ALSA become dominant eventually?
