I use 1.10.6.20040515-1 and it works as expected (and it's compiled
source code as well, SCNR ;-).

The OSS message isn't an indicator that it doesn't work, rather that the
application should be ported over to ALSA interfaces so we can get rid
of the OSS emulation layer at some point in the future.

final (no real external testing possible). But we should definitely work
on getting this running, we can't let our users be stuck with an ancient
version of this one and only killer app in the distro ;-P.
