the problem is that 2.5 tree puts oss stuffs on the different location
(linux/sound/oss) than 2.4 has (linux/driver/sound). 
thus, we cannot keep the same tree structure between 2.4 and 2.5.

yes, it's possible to put only alsa tree but i don't see big
advantage there.

renaming which module, do you mean?
i don't think any sound-related module names have been changed since
2.4.
