This is what I get when configuring with oss support, which is reason for me to disable it.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

You enabled the OSS driver although the ALSA driver is
available. Please note that if ALSA is available the OSS driver is a
very bad choice, since it currently doesn't support resampling or
converting sample types to the necessities of the hardware if the
hardware does not directly support the format/rate of the sound file
to play.

Packagers of Linux distributions! Please think twice if you package
the OSS driver! It is probably best to not to pacakge it at all -- at
least until the OSS driver learned sample type conversion and the most
basic resampling. Otherwise you might end up getting bug reports from
users misunderstanding the OSS vs. ALSA situation.
