If "the sound often clicks" probably you need the Ingo Molnar real-time patch in order to obtain a "Complete Preemption" (low latency kernel) that's good for audio stuff.

Thanks Elijah, but unfortunately that didn't solve the problem. In addition I've found that sound quality sometimes lapses into what sounds like a 22 or 11 khz samplerate. Very strange.
I'm compiling a fresh kernel, just to see if that happens to fix it, but otherwise I'm not sure what to do. Where would I report this bug, www.kernel.org?

Dear Debian-ers,
I've tried a few distributions of gnu Linux on my powerbook, and Debian is
the best that I found. I'm now synced with the latest Lenny updates and it's
working great.
The only thing I had to configure manually was to put the line
"snd-powermac" in /etc/modules to get sound to automatically work after
booting. The problem is that sound often clicks. If I use the trackpad it
clicks horribly in addition to the regular clicking. A usb mouse doesn't
seem to aggravate the clicking. I've tried totem movie player and VLC.
I've searched on google and this list's archives for a solution but haven't
found a solution. I would definitely appreciate any help!
