Description

Provides compatibility for older applications that expect the OSS sound interface while the system uses ALSA. It helps legacy audio programs continue to produce or capture sound on modern Linux systems.

Install it when an older application specifically needs OSS compatibility. New applications should normally use ALSA, PulseAudio, PipeWire, or higher-level audio APIs.
