Takashi Iwai 727dede0ba sound: Retire OSS
Since no complaints have been raised after disabling the build of OSS
(Open Sound System) by the commit 31cbee6a56 ("sound: Disable the
build of OSS drivers"), let's finally drop the whole code and
documentation.

Some glue codes are still left intact since sound/oss/dmasound stuff
remains -- which is an independent implementation solely for m68k, and
it's not covered by ALSA yet.

Also, a couple of API header files (linux/sound.h and
linux/soundcard.h) are kept remaining as well, since the OSS API
itself is still supported by ALSA OSS emulation, and applications can
refer to these.

Where we're at it, some help texts in the top-level Kconfig are
adjusted, too (who still needs to specify I/O port in kbuild
nowadays?).

If you have a sound card in your computer, i.e. if it can say more
than an occasional beep, say Y.

config SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM
bool "Preclaim OSS device numbers"
depends on SOUND_OSS_CORE
default y
help
With this option enabled, the kernel will claim all OSS device
numbers if any OSS support (native or emulation) is enabled
whether the respective module is loaded or not and try to load the
appropriate module using sound-slot/service-* and char-major-*
module aliases when one of the device numbers is opened. With
this option disabled, kernel will only claim actually in-use
device numbers and opening a missing device will generate only the
standard char-major-* aliases.
The only visible difference is use of additional module aliases
and whether OSS sound devices appear multiple times in
/proc/devices. sound-slot/service-* module aliases are scheduled
to be removed (ie. PRECLAIM won't be available) and this option is
to make the transition easier. This option can be overridden
during boot using the kernel parameter soundcore.preclaim_oss.
Disabling this allows alternative OSS implementations.
If unsure, say Y.

This is used to avoid config and link hard dependencies between the
sound subsystem and other function drivers completely unrelated to
sound although they're sharing the AC97 bus. Concerned drivers
should "select" this.
