No it does not since the OSS device is apparently not supposed to do so
(although for hardware mixing it always has and hence does under alsa
too).

I belieave running the program using aoss wrapper does work fine with
the software mixing, so you can just do:

aoss crappy_oss_only_program arguments

But I have never tried it since I have never needed in on my card.
