+	  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.
+
+	  If unusre, say Y.
