The comment on the change is:
Note em8300* OSS -> ALSA default change

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  === Cdrtools Replaced By Cdrkit ===
  
  Recent versions of `cdrtools` [http://lwn.net/Articles/195167/ intermix] code under the GPL and CDDL licenses, which are mutually incompatible. To avoid this problem, in this release `cdrtools` has been replaced by a fork called [http://www.cdrkit.org/ cdrkit]. Thanks to Joerg Jaspert (joerg AT debian.org) from Debian for initiating development of this software and [https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2006-August/msg00409.html reaching out] to us. 
+ 
+ === EM8300 Drivers Default to ALSA ===
+ 
+ The default audio mode of the em8300 device support utilities and kernel modules (em8300, kmod-em8300-* packages) has changed from OSS to ALSA to follow upstream, where the change was made already earlier.  However, there are numerous apps that support the em8300 but still expect to find it in OSS mode; users of such applications can use the audio_driver=oss option for the em8300 module in modprobe.conf to get the card to use OSS for audio.
  
  === Gaim Renamed As Pidgin ===
