Well, OSS has some 'soundbase.o', in which dmabuf.o is linked into.
Possibly which code path is not used at all on Indy, but the #define has
to be there... So there's no real answer, but running 2.4.16 (from
Debian installer) and 'insmod -f'ing the just compiled 2.4.19-rc1 hal2.o
into that kernel ends up in useable sound. So this is some working way
of doing sound.

Btw., I think I'll have a deeper look at hal2.o - the smallest load lets
sound proceed in snail mode:-(
