Is OSS emulation going?

I finally upgraded to the latest FC2 kernel, 2.6.7-1.494.2.2, and have
noticed a couple of messages that are new:

Aug 10 19:05:12 rltp40f2 kernel: application vmware-vmx uses obsolete
OSS audio interface
Aug 11 12:38:30 rltp40f2 kernel: application mozilla-bin uses obsolete
OSS audio interface

Did I lose something in this upgrade?

FWIW, the VMWare is 4.5.2 build 8848 and the mozilla is the latest one
from FC2 updates 1.7.2-0.2.0.

My modprobe.conf is as follows:

> alias net-pf-10 off
> alias eth0 e1000
> alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
> install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
> remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
> alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
> alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
> alias ath0 ath_pci

Checked bugzilla but my eyes couldn't find anything....

The VMWare list is saying that RedHat is looking to force everyone to
use ALSA implying that things are likely to get worse before they get
better....

Any thoughts or suggestions?
