You're kidding? /dev/sndstat has always been there in OSS/Free.
Here's the contents on my Athlon machine with ALSA/OSS emulation:

Nothing too exciting, it just lists the various services registered with the
sound system. It is useful to see what's going on though.

SparcAudio is seperate to OSS/Free in the kernel and it only implements the bare
minimum OSS functionality on its own. So, /dev/{dsp,audio,audioctl,mixer} work,
but /dev/sndstat is left out.
