For all I know, some completely broke ALSA's OSS emulation, making it
claim to support all formats and doing conversion within the kernel (!).
For those like me who abhor the very idea of this and disabled the
in-kernel conversions that means they get broken output for everything
the card does not support - in my case mono output.
I switched to alsa to fix this, but I am still very annoyed about it
(though not enough to try to fix it myself).
