bug #201647 - inclusion of alsa-oss in Fedora Core

[Florin Andrei]

My opinion is that aoss (a.k.a. the alsa-oss package) should be included
in Core. I filed a report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201647

The discussion on LAU that triggered the report:

Actually, something I'm pushing for in FC7, is to cut out the last
vestiges of OSS, Namely, by cutting out esound and while we're at it,
arts as well.

I would rather alsa-oss did not go into core. Extras, sure.

The flash plugin is pretty much the only remaining OSS-only holdout. And
that will probably never change until we force their hand.

IIRC, they're working on it. What we've been looking at internally
for future releases is going to a PulseAudio-based system.
