This looks okay. Synth and Midi show the same for me too. I think this is
normal as this is the OSS emulation info.

You already have that loaded. It's the snd_powermac module.

The first think I'd try next is to run alsamixer and make sure the volume
is turned up. Next, try to play a sample sound using aplay. If you get
any errors, post them. If you hear no sound with aplay, try the '-v' and
'-vv' switches. The last one should show continuous output for a while.
The only other thing I can think of is that the OSS driver might be
built into your kernel. I don't know if this is a Debian practice or not.
What kernel are you on? (uname -r)
