I think it more of a modprobe thing than an install thing. You already
have the alsa-oss if you have installed the alsa package. You need to find
out if you have the alsa-oss module loaded.

Let me see if I can remember the incantations:

lsmod | grep snd  #should give you a list of alsa modules loaded

If you don't have snd-pcm-oss or relatives you will need to load it.

Sadly I can't remember just exactly what you need to do to load oss if is
not there. You might look on the UbuntuStudio site for more help. Or
perhaps someone more knowledgeable on the list might be able to help you.
