Every one I've used has done so (Aureal Vortex2, CS4614, c-media, etc).
I don't know if it's the rule but it seems like fairly common behavior
from my experience.

In any case it's really not a big deal, just that ALSA's OSS emulation
seems to be divergent from the typical OSS driver's behavior in that
regard.
