Of course, you are right, but this is a simple example; and user 
doesn't (and of course he can't) get any warning message or anything 
which he should know from that something is "not optimal" here... And 
in my "dream" packaging scheme (as I described) this is a common case 
(and the user shouldn't know much about -alsa, -oss and provisions at 
all ;-)
