If the application does the right thing (e.g., use proper ioctl to 
find API level and do its stuff depending on the API level), it won't 
have a problem (at least in theory).  If it is does not (e.g., check 
API level at compile time and generate a different binary) AND 
sound(4) in -STABLE is loaded instead of OSS kernel modules, it MAY 
have a problem because it does not support some features in OSS v4.  
So, the chances are slim, I think. :-)
