Well, first I'd suggest simply supporting ALSA as thoroughly as necessary or possible. It is the default kernel sound system, Wine may as well incorporate it as well as it can. Supporting the deprecated OSS API might be a good idea too, through ALSA's OSS-compatibility layer. As one devel noted, it may be a good idea to forego further development of things like the NAS and ESD servers until a more solid basis exists for ALSA/OSS.
I just wanted to add that OSS isn't deprecated. ALSA is Linux-only. OSS is a multiplatform solution.
