I think you have this totally backward. There are many applications which use
the /dev/dsp* devices, and which will produce no sound unless they are present.
In fact, I think the majority of older hardware does not have support for sound
other than oss. As I look at my newest TV card it has stuff in /dev/dvb, while
the other 4-5 cards which have been happily in use do not.
To test (as root):
modprobe -v snd-pcm-oss
{test applications for sound here}
A lot of people have functional old hardware they can't replace, for financial
or technical reasons. That's why there is oss support, to support the hardware
which needs it.
