You should try static OSS.

I tried it a long time ago, when Skype used OSS and not ALSA. The
result was that I could hear the calling partner, but the calling
partner couldn't hear me. But this seems to be a generic problem with
the Linux OSS emulation, since I couldn't get the microphone to work
with ANY linux binary.
