In any case, it turns out that there are some old programs that depend
on the OSS emulation. If you look through that bug report (and
associates), there are quite a few. I personally got a problem with
tvtime, the only working TV viewer for GNOME.

Unfortunately, these reported regressions didn't mean that OSS
emulation was turned back on. So Maverick is still broken. :( While it
seems there might at some point be fixes for these problems, the only
reliable solution right now is to compile a kernel yourself. I don't
think that's the right answer to Ubuntu users.

So could somebody please step in and either do a serious effort of
fixing these problems now or issue a quick fix by reenabling OSS
emulation, at least as a module? I have tried to contact Leann
Ogasawara who did the actual kernel change twice about this, but
gotten no response.
