Just remove OSS support from the kernel. ALSA has been the default since
the 2.6.0 kernel (that's 5 years ago), and even apps that use OSS
emulation through ALSA will block any other use of the sound card
(whether PulseAudio is present or not).

There's no sound mixing (through ALSA or PulseAudio) when OSS emulation
is used in ALSA. Kill it (and file a bug against the app).
