Hi,

I finally found some sites that indicate that snd-powermac is the
correct module for the powermac G4 digital audio.  There does seem to
be several sites mentioning patches for the alsa drivers for these
models so there may be problems.  The show up near the top of the list
I got using the search string 'powermac G4 "digital audio" alsa
driver' in google.  

What do you get from the output of 'dmesg | grep snd' in a shell?  For
example, for my iBook G4 I get:

# dmesg | grep snd
snd-aoa-fabric-layout: Using PMF GPIOs
snd-aoa-codec-tas: found tas3004
snd-aoa-fabric-layout: can use this codec
snd-aoa-codec-tas: tas found, addr 0x35 on /pci at f2000000/mac-io at 17/i2c at 18000/i2c-bus at 0/codec at 6a
