Re: bounty for fixing ALSA's powermac driver
sure, but the original post says that this is not working out.
As far as ppc *nixes:
There is also mandrake-ppc which is now only a volunteer project, yellow

On the bsd front there is open and net, and they are working on a
Freebsd-ppc.
I've probably missed a few too.
