oss and {{docmod|alsa}} audio capture support were removed from {{docmod|v4l}} and {{docmod|v4l2}} in VLC 1.0.0, but accesses were provided as sub-modules. To emulate old behaviour, use <code>--input-slave oss://</code> or <code>--input-slave alsa://</code>. The access module reads from <code>/dev/dsp</code>.

The audio output module has no shortcut. The access module has a shortcut of <code>oss</code>.
