Here is the sad news. It doesn't work. Check following outputs (all
command run as root).

iBook:/home/onkar# modprobe snd-aoa
iBook:/home/onkar# lsmod |grep snd_aoa
snd_aoa                19840  0
snd_aoa_i2sbus         22820  0
snd_pcm                79748  1 snd_aoa_i2sbus
snd                    61876  6
snd_aoa,snd_aoa_i2sbus,snd_pcm,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device
snd_aoa_soundbus        9060  1 snd_aoa_i2sbus
iBook:/home/onkar# alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory


Whereas it works with snd-powermac

iBook:/home/onkar# modprobe snd-powermac
iBook:/home/onkar# lsmod |grep snd_powermac
snd_powermac           47936  0
snd_pcm                79748  2 snd_powermac,snd_aoa_i2sbus
snd                    61876  7
snd_powermac,snd_aoa,snd_aoa_i2sbus,snd_pcm,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device
iBook:/home/onkar# alsamixer
