Note: I'm running the kernels from wheezy-backports

linux-image-3.14-0.bpo.1-amd64 3.14.12-1~bpo70+1
linux-image-3.16-0.bpo.2-amd64 3.16.3-2~bpo70+1

I've installed a more recent kernel but did not rebooted yet ;)...
(102d uptime)


After having compiled the 'core' directory I looked into the 'drivers'
directory.

Here is the patch for the first couple of errors:


diff -ru /usr/src/oss4-4.2-build2007/drivers/pci_wrapper.inc

After installing the drivers manually (make modules_install), I roamed
a little around ... to finally discover that I had to load the proper
module manually and create device nodes manually. I hope this is
properly handled by the debian package :) !

Sound works now !
Wow! it has been a long time since I heard the sound from oss ;) !!!
