It's not up to me :-)

There is no OSS driver in FC3 (only OSS emulation (by alsa)).
Any application that use gstreamer-plugins can use Alsa. In fact, they
don't know if they are using OSS or alsa. They use gstreamer. Period.
OSS programs (by definition does not use gstreamer) are not impacted by
the suppression of OSS support in gstreamer.

aplay /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/share/gallery/sounds/cow.wav (alsa)
and
play /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/share/gallery/sounds/cow.wav (OSS)

work perfectly.
