        You're right. I did:

CONFIG_SND=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_MEMORY=y
CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_DETECT=y

        But, according to sound/core/Config.in:

dep_bool '  OSS API emulation' CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL $CONFIG_SND
 if [ "$CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL" = "y" ]; then
   dep_tristate '    OSS Mixer API' CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS $CONFIG_SND
   dep_tristate '    OSS PCM API' CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS $CONFIG_SND
  if [ "$CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER" != "n" ]; then
    dep_tristate '    OSS Sequencer API' CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS $CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER
  fi
fi

        If I'm reading this right, CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS would depend on 
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL being set.

        Interestingly enough, I just ran a diff -uNr between the sound/ TLDs 
of the 2.5.15 and 2.5.7 trees, and there hasn't been a change in 
sound/drivers/opl3/opl3_oss.c, although it could have changed between 2.5.7 
and 2.5.14. It was 2.5.14 where I originally noticed the breakage.

                                                        BL.
