Well, you've answered your own question. There's no maintainer to check which downstream differences still make sense. What is better maintained[1] and supported is FreeBSD fork of OSS - sound(4). See OSSv4 compatibility in https://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/SOUND_4.TXT.html Not sure why those bits haven't migrated into the manpage.
