Any point to install OSS from AUR?

I have my sound working great with ALSA, I'm just curious if there's any benefit to installing OSS from AUR (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7134) ??

Re: Any point to install OSS from AUR?

I use the package, though not from the AUR. I downloaded mine directly from 4Front Tech's website: http://www.opensound.com/

I went this route because they provide the specific driver for my m-audio soundcard. In this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=44072 NoOneImportant noted that the sound is better than vanilla alsa.
