use system asound.conf (f10 and c6), v1.1

Doh, I forgot about the conflict with etc/alsa/pulse-default.conf. Currently
linux-c6-alsa-plugins-oss and linux-c6-alsa-plugins-pulseaudio compete for the
default output/mixer device. My guess the last one wins in the following
scenario.

  # /compat/linux/etc/asound.conf
  @hooks [
          {
                  func load
                  files [
                          "/etc/alsa/pcm/pcm-oss.conf"
                          "/etc/alsa/pulse-default.conf"
                  ]
                  errors false
          }
  ]

  # /compat/linux/etc/alsa/pcm/pcm-oss.conf
  pcm.!default {
        type oss
        device /dev/dsp
        hint {
                description "Open Sound System"
        }
  }

  # /compat/linux/etc/alsa/pulse-default.conf
  pcm.!default {
      type pulse
      hint {
          description "Default"
      }
  }

In short, by using linux-c6- a user would trade one bug for another. While
harmless *with* the patch here applied better remove all no longer used
/etc/alsa/*.conf to avoid confusion.
