If you're willing to venture out on your own, you should be able to
get the appletouch driver and sound working. They work quite well for
me despite the other problems I'm having. For appletouch, download
the appletouch source, build, install in an appropriate place, and
then run "modprobe appletouch". For sound, enable the drivers when
you configure your 2.6.11 kernel, and assuming things are set up
right, you should be able to hear sound.
