I can't figure out how to switch to OSS4

[Astrognome]

I've had a few fruitless attempts at installing OSS4 on Mint 12. I can't find anything that's up to date, so I came here to ask you guys. I used search, but all I found was getting vlc to use OSS4.

I'm still not the best at linux, so explain it like you've just discovered it a week ago.

Does this help any?

I realize it's for Ubuntu 10.04, but it may be a start. OSS4 is in Mint's repositories, if that helps any.
