I do not know. The current workaround was implemented at a difficult
moment where some people were engaged in a very bitter conflict, so I
can imagine that it is the most straightforward, but not the most
optimum solution. There are two routes for improvement:
- Either add some autodetection in Debian Installer,
- or fix snd-powermac in the kernel.
I can help you or another volunteer with tests, but not more: I am not a
programmer and never studied Debian Installer. Furthermore, I recently
changed my home computer and only use ppc at work now. (But I still have
my old G5 iMac around: in Tokyo it is now worth only 300$ (30,000¥)
second hand for buyers, so I did not try to sell it).
Have a nice day,
