Not true.
OSS is the first widely used sound system for Linux. ALSA was designed
in order to replace OSS and is much more advanced from a technical
point of view. If you don't make heavy use of your sound hardware it
doesn't matter which sound system you choose; however do keep in mind
that OSS will be phased out, probably in the 2.7 series.
