Maybe you are over-reacting. If we can find out what makes the
difference between your and my installation...
To run exactly the same driver:
1) install stock kernel for squeeze: linux-image-2.6.32-5-powerpc (2.6.32-31)
2) install my driver package:
http://ristosu.wippiespace.com/pub/alsa-modules-2.6.32-5-powerpc_1.0.23+dfsg-2+2.6.32-31_powerpc.deb
To 'refresh' your alsa driver, you could try to remove (or rename)
/var/lib/alsa/asound.state.
