Yes, a Powerbook (started with a Psimo G3 at 500, now an AlBook G4 at 1.25).
USB-Audio Emagic EMI 2|6 and the internal screamer for on-the-road use. 
works (almost) perfectly with kernel 2.6.0-test9...
Troubles generally seem to come frome endianess-issues and a certain 
x86-centredness of linux apps, especially concerning the optimizations 
(mmx- and sse-assembler is often there, ppc and altivec seldom).

But still those are great machines to run Linux on :-)

Have fun*
