Hello, correct me if I'm wrong, but all TDE applications are using Arts to
output sound. They do not output sound directly to Alsa or OSS.

The choice between Alsa and OSS is done in the Arts configuration (see
Trinity Control Panel). In my case, I can choose between "Automatic",
"Alsa", "OSS", "Nothing", and "Threaded sound system".
Do you mean that you cannot choose OSS there ?
