snd-pcm-oss is part of alsa, it's the oss emulation.
So it makes sense that this modules isn't found if
you haven't installled alsa yet. It's a bit confusing
because linux uses OSS as its native driver, however
you need to load the driver for your sound card ...
for example sb for soundblaster.

How about install alsa?
