Recently looking at the configuration
to build a recent kernel the OSS sound system was
marked as deprecated in favor of ALSA.

Both should be there at this time.
 Linux Kernel v2.6.5-1.356custom Configuration
    ... 
  │ │                <M> Open Sound System (DEPRECATED)

So both are there but the future direction is indicated.

Since you can use either at this time, go ahead use OSS.  I would
recommend productive bug reports to clear up things like ACPI
conflicts.
