Subject: [PATCH] sound: Disable the build of OSS drivers
OSS drivers are left as badly unmaintained, and now we're facing a
problem to clean up the hackish set_fs() usage in their codes. Since
most of drivers have been covered by ALSA, and the others are dead old
and inactive, let's leave them RIP.
This patch is the first step: disable the build of OSS drivers.
We'll eventually drop the whole codes and clean up later.

Please note the dmasound drivers do not have ALSA equivalents.
These belong to the latter, "dead old and inactive" ones :)
Are these driver still used with the latest kernel? If users are
I believe so.
willing to help, we can provide the port to ALSA drivers, too.
That would be great, thanks!
