+----------------------------
+
+What: sound-slot/service-* module aliases and related clutters in
+ sound/sound_core.c
+When: August 2010
+Why: OSS sound_core grabs all legacy minors (0-255) of SOUND_MAJOR
+ (14) and requests modules using custom sound-slot/service-*
+ module aliases. The only benefit of doing this is allowing
+ use of custom module aliases which might as well be considered
+ a bug at this point. This preemptive claiming prevents
+ alternative OSS implementations.
+
+ Till the feature is removed, the kernel will be requesting
+ both sound-slot/service-* and the standard char-major-* module
+ aliases and allow turning off the pre-claiming selectively via
+ CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM and soundcore.preclaim_oss
+ kernel parameter.
+
+ After the transition phase is complete, both the custom module
+ aliases and switches to disable it will go away. This removal
+ will also allow making ALSA OSS emulation independent of
+ sound_core. The dependency will be broken then too.

+ With this option enabled, the kernel will claim all OSS device
+ numbers if any OSS support (native or emulation) is enabled
+ whether the respective module is loaded or not and try to load the
+ appropriate module using sound-slot/service-* and char-major-*
+ module aliases when one of the device numbers is opened. With
+ this option disabled, kernel will only claim actually in-use

+
+ The only visible difference is use of additional module aliases
+ and whether OSS sound devices appear multiple times in
+ /proc/devices. sound-slot/service-* module aliases are scheduled
+ to be removed (ie. PRECLAIM won't be available) and this option is
+ to make the transition easier. This option can be overridden
+ during boot using the kernel parameter soundcore.preclaim_oss.
+
+ Disabling this allows alternative OSS implementations.
