Subject: OSS audio compatibility layer regression - Linux-3.x - unable to register OSS PCM device 0:0

I've an issue, when I use the SND_OSSEMUL compatibility layer with the
snd_intel8x0 module. The devices can't be registered. Indeed, theses devices are
registered at the oss_init() stage, and are not available later. A patch to fix
this issue is available below. The patch uses the previous linux behavior.


Best Regards,
Wallak.
