for future reference, it looks like libofapi-dev provides
/usr/share/doc/libofapi-dev/examples/soundbus.c

After fixing a minor bug in that example [0], it builds properly, and
reports the following on the machine in question (whether or not i have
snd-powermac.ko loaded):

0 root@clam:~# ./soundbus
Model: PowerBook2,1
Compatible: daca
Resources:
 rsrc[0] 0x80010000 - 0x80011000
 rsrc[1] 0x80008000 - 0x80008100
 rsrc[2] 0x80008100 - 0x80008200
0 root@clam:~#


So that looks likely.  I'll try to get a patched kernel built.  Any
recommendation on the best way to deviate least from the stock squeeze
kernel while minimizing compile time?  The powerpc machines i have
access to for compilation are all, uh, under-resourced.
