files/alsa-plugins.patch contains an assortment of FreeBSD-specific
improvements that may not work on alternative OSS implementations.
So, restore the ability to exclude the patch for debugging.
1) When read() or write() fails due to EAGAIN because no buffer is available or
buffer is full, return 0 instead of failure. Else clients may simply close
the device and re-open it instantly chopping the audio.
2) Implement OSS delay function to fix an issue with negative delays.
3) Use at least 16ms of HW buffer by default to avoid jitter.

- Restore behavior from r296140 while adding alignment options in case
of issues. This should make things slightly less broken and add more
sample formats. [1]
- Some apps (e.g. linux-firefox with ports/169896) don't check with ALSA
which sample formats are supported and just feed whatever they like,
assuming the underlying device supports it.
While here also fix mixer device for OSS plugin. It should be /dev/dsp
according to 4Front OSS wiki. The only works with ARIFF_OSS enabled
but the volume is reset on close(). audio/oss doesn't work either way:
the new (OSSv4) way to control mixer is via SNDCTL_MIX_* ioctls. [2]
