This came through on another Linux list & I thought it might be
relevant here too given the audio headaches that seem to plague Mac
hardware running OSS (not the sound driver ;-):

According to the following BTS entry, the ALSA maintainer assigned to the
snd-powermac driver doesn't even have any Mac to play with:

This prooves that all attempts at fixing the driver have been shooting in
the dark.  No f***** wonder the snd-powermac driver is such a mess!

Wouldn't it be a good idea to place a bounty to encourage Ubuntu PPC
developers to get around fixing snd-powermac for all Mac PPC chips??
