1 You don't need dmasound_core or dmasound_pmac when using alsa. Make sure
2 that you insert the module snd_powermac
3 (add it in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 an entry snd_powermac and
4 remove any dmasound_*).
5 Emerge alsa-utils, and edit /etc/modules.d/alsa by changing:
6 alias snd-card-0 snd-powermac
7 Then use modules-update and rc-update add alsasound boot
8 Now, you should have alsa working. Use also alsamixer to unmute
9 everything that you need.
