Is it a known issue that the 2.6.0-test6 from the above source as of
yesterday evening (CET) cannot reload the audio modules (neither alsa
nor dmasound) once they've been unloaded? At least alsa also does not
survive a sleepmode session, which means sound is dead after a snooze.

$ sudo modprobe snd-powermac
FATAL: Error inserting snd_powermac (/lib/modules/2.6.0-test6/kernel/sound/ppc/snd-powermac.ko): No such device
$

dmesg at this point gives:

ALSA sound/ppc/pmac.c:1092: pmac: can't request resource 0!
no PMac soundchip found

The first time the modules are loaded after boot, everything works fine, 
and sound is fully functional.

It did work in a 2.6.0-test5 from rsync (source.mvista.com::linuxppc-2.5)
by unloading and reloading alsa, but there sleepmode didn't work, so it
wasn't very usable on an ibook.

Right.. it's my usual ibook2 (late 2001, dual usb, 600MHz, M3 graphics).
