I am not even sure if this is really a bug. It seems that alsaconf loads
the correct alsa driver in your case. This is all it is supposed to do,
if I understand the script correctly. (The relevant line is "modprobe
$CARD_DRIVER".) I do not know if this is supposed to trigger the loading
of snd_pcm_oss. (Some people might not want to have the OSS legacy
support modules loaded by default.)
