According to the list, it can't work on my machine, which is
made in this century (2013 to be exact).

Please take a look at this article (last edited in 2011):
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound

and hardware list (which is "not 100% complete")
http://www.opensound.com/osshw.html

They say that for other Unix'es the support maybe imcomplete,
yet on my NetBSD/OSS installation it worked.
By the way, people in NetBSD community also try to avoid PA,
even though it's a Firefox dependency, it can be avoided easily.

I wouldn't call OSS historic.
