Subject: [PATCH] sound: Use sound_register_*() for additional OSS minor devices

Since OSS driver creates the device entries for /dev/audio* and
/dev/dspW* by itself without coping with sound_core, it leads to
conflicts with others and let sysfs spewing warnings.

This patch rewrites the registration part of OSS driver to use
the standard method also for additional minor devices.
