Summary:                    compiles, but no sound comes out
Description: 
This is a plain vanilla kernel 2.6.6, which uses ALSA 1.0.4.

The kernel compiles fine, the snd_powermac module loads without any error,
but no sound comes up.

Running alsamixer gives me a mixer screen where none of the sliders can be
moved.

I never try CVS, so I cannot say.  I only test stable Linux 2.6 release
kernels.

The content of CVS and kernel 2.6.10 completely match for the PPC drivers
(CVS cruft shows up as the only difference):

...therefore, yes, even what's in CVS is broken.
