I have:
$> ls -go /etc/modprobe.d/linux-sound-base_noOSS
lrwxrwxrwx 1 41 2008-10-26 11:17 /etc/modprobe.d/linux-sound-base_noOSS
-> /lib/linux-sound-base/noOSS.modprobe.conf

So far, so good.

I have that too:
$> dpkg -l oss-com*  | grep ^i
ii  oss-compat     0.0.4+nmu1     OSS compatibility package

So in case I have devices that require OSS, I guerss they will work
using this.
