Re: bounty for fixing ALSA's powermac driver

[Mauro <mcepeda@ualberta.ca>]

They should get macs period.  I know of one ppc dev that doesn't even 
have a mac.  Apple has to be the largest subset of ppc, certainly 
commercially.  That is reason enough to have their dev work and test 
things out on macs.  I can't even started to get them testing for the 
DRI bug I have with accel on an  old iMac because they (or is it just 
this one dev) runs a Pegaseus (however you spell it).
