As you stated earlier, this has been brought up many times already,
without much result. Can I cite benh on this matter ?

That's the question. Nobody knows.

snd-aoa works for many people (including me) that simply had no sound at
all before. This a driver for newer hardware, from what I understand.
snd-powermac is for older ones (note that "old" may not be what you
think: i have an iBook G4 with snd-powermac and a one year younger
PowerBook that uses snd-aoa)
The problem seems to be just in what machine has what chip, and what
driver it should load. Please, if you think I am saying something wrong,
correct me.
Regards,
benjamin
