Same thing here, sound worked oke until I updated my kernel a few weeks 
ago. I'm using GNOME (sometimes KDE) and have no sound server running.

Now short sounds are played OK but when XMMS is playing songs, it stops 
after one or two seconds. After running fuser /dev/dsp XMMS works fine 
again. But too bad that this was working before and not anymore now. Als 
when booting, it loads the sound modules and beeps once... for what reason?

Hmm, doesn't work here, it says: Device or resource busy. Hopefully this 
willbe fixed so that the lates kernel and having this

more /etc/modutils/sound
alias char-major-14     soundcore
alias sound-slot-0      dmasound_pmac
alias char-major-14-3   dmasound_pmac
alias /dev/dsp          dmasound_pmac
alias sound-service-0-0 i2c-keywest
alias char-major-14-0   i2c-keywest
alias /dev/mixer        i2c-keywest

is enough to get things going. Or do I really need to run a sound server?

Bye,
