hmm, I wasn't even aware that there was an ALSA driver for powermac
sound hardware.  I'll have to check that out...

Last I checked, ALSA did not support any of the AWACS family chips in
PowerMac/PowerBook systems at all. There was a comment in a Todo log in
the source that mentioned they intended to do such a driver at some point,
but I don't know that one was ever written.

SuSE people did, they have drivers for awacs, burgundy, tumbler and daca.

From ALSA history:

2001-05-14 The driver 0.5.11 was released. Changes: IA64 arch support,
ALi 5451 driver added, AWACS driver added (for PPC), AC'97, PCM OSS
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
emulation, sequencer OSS emulation, AD1816A, ALS4000, AZT2320, CMIPCI,
CS4236, CS4281, CS461X, ES1968, Maestro 3, NM256, OPL3SA2, SB16,
SB-AWE, YMFPCI.

I'm downloading it now.


Bye.
