Hi All

First a *Thanks* to all those, here or elsewhere, who spend their time
on the development of usable software for PPC Linux: I don't think I
ever would have bought the latest alu Powerbook with the option that
this machine will be an MacOSX-only one ... :)

As to the reason why I came here: 
As I can't be sure whether the issue announced in the subject line is
really a kernel issue I put some sound relevant config files in a
tarball (~ 12 KB) to my homepage:

wolfgangpfeiffer.com/alsa.configs.tar.gz

In the tarball above you'll find
these local /etc/ dirs with all files below them: 
alsa  modprobe.d   modutils

and these single files, also from /etc/ here:
modules  modules.conf pbbuttonsd.conf

The kernel config
http://wolfgangpfeiffer.com/config-2.6.17-rc3-g5528e568-dirty.txt

(Geocities, which my site actually is hosted by, does not allow
uploading the file without the file type suffix, IIRC ...)

The kernel, made with non-edited (except the kernel .config), as I hope,
git sources, and with the 'make-kpkg' Debian package:

$ cat /proc/version 
Linux version 2.6.17-rc3-g5528e568-dirty (root@debby1-6) (gcc version
4.1.1 20060428 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.0-2)) #1 Sun May 7 23:51:15
CEST 2006

OS is Debian/unstable.

So with the settings from the files above I run 'alsaconf', and it
can't find any sound card:


x                                                          x          
x                                                          x          
x         No supported PnP or PCI card found.              x          
x                                                          x          
x  Would you like to probe legacy ISA sound cards/chips?   x          
x                                                          x          
x                                                          x          
x               <Yes>                  <No>                x          
x                                                          x          



Either answering No or Yes does not help to get sound.

KDE also is complaining. Something like:

---------------------
Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device: default can't be opened for playback (No such device)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
-----------------------


The alsapackages seem to be the latest ones I can get:

# apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils alsaplayer-alsa alsaplayer-common alsaplayer-gtk
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
alsa-base is already the newest version.
alsa-utils is already the newest version.
alsaplayer-alsa is already the newest version.
alsaplayer-common is already the newest version.
alsaplayer-gtk is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 322 not upgraded.

Please let me know in case you need more information ..

Best Regards
Wolfgang
