OSS (OPEN SOUND SYSTEM) on Ubuntu?
Is this possible, if not what is the closest distro? I tried and it broke my sound last time.

Wasn't OSS deprecated in favor of ALSA?

Here's the full rundown: Open Sound System
In short, it's not likely that it will suddenly appear as a drop-in replacement for ALSA.
OSS4 is supposed to be supported in ubuntu, but I've never installed it. I can't imagine why there'd be issues using it as a drop in replacement since most desktop software defaults to pulseaudio as a middleware layer and does not use ALSA directly. PA itself supports OSS as a backend.
