Yes, I spent a lot of time working on this yesterday and concluded that
changing oss-compat so that it essentially does nothing at all is
responsible for this breakage -- and the same breakage in all OSS applications.

I've moved all this to an Arch computer instead, since they still support
OSS applications via the snd-pcm-oss module.
