Load dmasound_pmac before alsa (modprobe dmasound_pmac ;
modprobe -r dmasound_powermac). You can put this in modules.conf

I have this at then end of my /etc/modutils/alsa :

pre-install snd-powermac modprobe dmasound_pmac ; rmmod dmasound_pmac
dmasound_pcore

post-remove dmasound_pmac rmmod dmasound_pcore

If you unload ALSA before sleeping, you take the risk that it reloads
itself if you have some app which is using the sound card (xmms, even
stopped queries the mixer). I have changed snd-card-0 to snd-card-000
so alsa does not load automagically, juste when you use
/etc/init.d/alsa.
