I'm using OSS 4 build 1003. It works mostly fine, but I have two annoying issues:
1. I use a lot my MP3 player (currently audacious, but it happens the same with XMMS and mpg123). After some time playing (couple of hours, sometimes more. It seems random, and it happens with any file, not a specific one) the sound starts to get distorted. It will sound just like a radio when it's not tuned in the right frequency. Very annoying, especially because there is no way to fix it but to reboot the PC. I happens either with /dev/dsp (OSS driver) or /dev/audio (SUN audio emulation driver)
2. savemixer seems to forget the status of muted/unmuted. I have installed a TV card, which works fine, but everytime I reboot, the line IN input is muted, so no sound comes from the card. I have to unmute it manually. After that, I always run savemixer (as root) but on reboot, it's the ame always.
