SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/2] sound: make OSS device number claiming optional

The interface expected is the sound_register_* interface and the sharing
is likewise expected so you could for example mix OSS. CUSE and ALSA oss
emulation drivers on the same system at the same time.

Rewriting sound_register* in terms of minor number allocations using the
fact modern kernels have better allocators for devices would also be
preferable to the weird module hacks initially proposed. I guess a
starting point would be to tweak soundcore to generate both message sets
itself for a year and then pull the old stuff out.
