that doesnt make sense, the package supports a lot more than OSS, like SDL or esound for backend and alsa through them
I see no reason to start listing this in description, USE flags speak for themself

Comment 2 Martin Mokrejš 2010-10-29 19:34:42 UTC

My objection was what is the requirement on the kernel API side, and there is only OSS and nowadays ALSA provided, optionally with OSS-backwards compatible interface.
