Completely agree.
As I pointed out on IRC, it's just a modprobe rule loading these OSS
modules, so removing them from the kernel is a heavyweight solution to
your problem. You could trivially add a rule to remove them or change
the existing ones.

Let us please go ahead with my proposed simple solution.
1) Keep the OSS kernel modules.
2) alsa-plugins-pulseaudio ships /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-oss-sound,
thereby preventing loading of these kernel modules and interfering with
pulseaudio daemon.
3) If the user wants to use an OSS sound application they can use padsp
manually.
4) Native OSS comes back if the user uninstalls alsa-plugins-pulseaudio,
which also makes it so nothing uses pulseaudio for sound output.
Part #2 is the only change, which is VERY SIMPLE and easy to understand.

Yes, this breaks qemu's sound output. We need to fix that anyway,
because it causes other desktop applications to go haywire and
pulseaudio daemon to crash. Is your pidgin crashing? OSS applications
are likely the cause.
