I have the following in a file called /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
This may not be necessary, if there is a file called alsa-base in /etc/modutils but you can just put it in to be safe :)
Add the following line to /etc/modules if it isn't already there.
snd-powermac
Below, I have the file /var/lib/alsa/asound.state that controls the volumes, and it's what alsactl loads by default when starting the computer.
It's a bit long, but if you copy and paste that in /var/lib/alsa/asound.state, it should work.

That is my sound configuration.
Hope that helps,

p.s. I can't seem to send emails to you either. Strange...
