+	  With this option enabled, the kernel will claim all OSS device
+	  numbers if any OSS support (native or emulation) is enabled
+	  whether the respective module is loaded or not and try to load the
+	  appropriate module using sound-slot/service-* and char-major-*
+	  module aliases when one of the device numbers is opened.  With
+	  this option disabled, kernel will only claim actually in-use
+	  device numbers and opening a missing device will generate only the
+	  standard char-major-* aliases.
+
+	  The only visible difference is use of additional module aliases
+	  and whether OSS sound devices appear multiple times in
+	  /proc/devices.  sound-slot/service-* module aliases are scheduled
+	  to be removed (ie. PRECLAIM won't be available) and this option is
+	  to make the transition easier.  This option can be overridden
+	  during boot using the kernel parameter soundcore.preclaim_oss.
+
+	  Disabling this allows alternative OSS implementations.
+
+	  Please read Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt for
+	  details.

 /*
+ * By default, OSS sound_core claims full legacy minor range (0-255)
+ * of SOUND_MAJOR to trap open attempts to any sound minor and
+ * requests modules using custom sound-slot/service-* module aliases.
+ * The only benefit of doing this is allowing use of custom module
+ * aliases instead of the standard char-major-* ones.  This behavior
+ * prevents alternative OSS implementation and is scheduled to be
+ * removed.
+ *
+ * CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM and soundcore.preclaim_oss kernel
+ * parameter are added to allow distros and developers to try and
+ * switch to alternative implementations without needing to rebuild
+ * the kernel in the meantime.  If preclaim_oss is non-zero, the
+ * kernel will behave the same as before.  All SOUND_MAJOR minors are
+ * preclaimed and the custom module aliases along with standard chrdev
+ * ones are emitted if a missing device is opened.  If preclaim_oss is
+ * zero, sound_core only grabs what's actually in use and for missing
+ * devices only the standard chrdev aliases are requested.
+ *
+ * All these clutters are scheduled to be removed along with
+ * sound-slot/service-* module aliases.  Please take a look at
+ * feature-removal-schedule.txt for details.
