Maybe, maybe not. It's not what I asked for. Read the output of "grep |
| 8 |
machine /proc/cpuinfo". There you'll find something like "PowerBook7,2" |
| 9 |
(the numbers are the important ones). |

I'm asking because on some models the sound is not yet supported. But |
| 12 |
there's a driver in development (snd-aoa, [1]). |

I'm sure there is. You have always the source code at hand and can |
| 18 |
modify it to make it better. |

Unfortunately, I don't have much expierience with professional audio on |
| 23 |
any platform. Sound output works on my G5 and one of my PowerBooks while |
| 24 |
another one doesn't have its sound chip supported yet (but will with |
| 25 |
snd-aoa). Digital output is said not to work for now, but it's planned |
| 26 |
to be included in snd-aoa once they figure it out. |

Oh, and please learn how to quote. First and last warning from me. |
