Is esound known to be broken on powerpc ? Is there a better sound daemon that is recommended for powerpc ?It's known to have caused _me_ endless troubles ;) It's possible that E is trying to output sound via esound, causing the clicks. Can you try removing esound and disabling E & gnome sound to see if it helps ? (At least, we would then know if esound is the culprit).
I disabled X and rebooted my machine. It still clicks and pops. Here are a list of all running processes (ps -A):
