Please use the dmasound.tar.gz , it's a better driver (anton2 on
#mklinux fixed that 8 days ago), and I'm supposed to clean it up for
integration in BenH's tree (if he and Iain think that it's clean
enough). Or maybe Olaf will just be sick of waiting and do it himself ;)
Given that my iBook is going to the repair shop (the cable to the screen
got hurt and my display goes purple), one might want to take this task.
the dmasound.tar.gz contains a replacement for drivers/sound/dmasound
you still need the i2c-keywest driver from pfh's driver, but not the
dmasound_core hacks anymore.
All the i2c calls should be #ifdef'ed for machines without i2c buses to
still work. And a nice configuration option is needed as well.

The driver...
