If you want to put work into that, go ahead. Otherwise, there is a
reason why it is named compat-BROKEN-oss-sound.
Really few people will ever need this package because padsp emulation
works in most cases.
I'd think it may just be simplest to remove the lines from
modprobe.conf.dist, and not really worry about a new conflicting package
unless there turns out to be a big need for it. AFAIK, we shouldn't need
such a package for anything in Fedora itself.
