Yes, I'm intentionally using the OSS driver, which is what I have installed on
Ubuntu. But I also have PulseAudio installed (it was needed for some native
software to work).

The game I was trying to play (via Steam) is "Nancy Drew: The Haunting of
Castle Malloy". And I know for sure that it had worked just a few days ago
(also, I'm pretty sure it was with V1.5.7 where I still got sound working
correctly. It must have been one of the V1.5.x-series as I have had that
installed for quite some time.)
