getting OSS to start at bootup

Tried "systemctl enable oss", and "systemctl enable oss.service".  Neither work. I'm having to manually start oss every time arch boots up. Think it might have something to do with alsa? I noticed one thing while reading the archwiki....

Since ALSA is enabled by default in the boot scripts, you need to disable it so it does not conflict with OSS. You can do this by blacklisting the module:

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa_blacklist.conf
install soundcore /bin/false

I created the file alsa_blacklist.conf and put into it "install soundcore /bin/false"

I'm hoping that was the right thing to do... Either way, I just want oss to be enabled automatically during boot.
