as chris wrote above, there is a compatibility layer inbetween, if you
do a 'lsmod|grep snd' your will notice a snd-pcm-oss and a snd-mixer-oss
module which provide the oss emu of alsa for backwards compatibility
(and cause a second mixer device as you noticed)....

if you want to get the silent apps working, try to point them to esd
where possible.....(the soundserver is there for caring for multiple
inputs that have to go to only one output without blocking the device)
