I think those have probably been fixed by now. Also, the kernel
developers have been pretty clear that ALSA is the way forward, and OSS
will eventually be removed from the kernel wholesale.
That being said, in an ideal world everyone else would stop providing
OSS wrapper layers, so SDL would only pick OSS if it's really there, and
gracefully pick the real target instead of the real target's emulation
layer otherwise.
In reality, I guess we'll just have to move ALSA above OSS in our
priority list.
