[Bug 1975499] [NEW] drop oss4-dkms in kinetic

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

[Impact]

oss4-dkms fails to build in Jammy with the following error:

gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-mfloat-abi=hard’

We have considered to drop support of this package in other
architectures (except amd64) - see for example LP: #1969752, but
starting from kinetic we may also consider to drop oss4 completely,
considering that not many people are still using it.

[Test case]

 $ sudo apt install oss4-dkms

[Fix]

Drop oss4-dkms completely.

[Regression potential]

We may still have users of oss4 that would experience a regression, but
considering that oss is a quite old technology it could be worth
considering to move to a more modern sound system.
