oss-4.2_2000-1 quietly overwrites /usr/lib/oss/soundon.user.

From /usr/lib/oss/soundon.user:
> # This script can be used to run programs every time OSS is started.
> # By default, this script is disabled, and contains no commands.
> # To enable, add executable permissions to this file, and edit below
> # commands to be run.

Thus this file is a form of configuration. It should not be simply overwritten on an update. Hence I suggest adding "backup=(usr/lib/oss/soundon.user)" to the PKGBUILD.
This task depends upon
