hi list
first of all, thanks for all those who sent answers.
some more questions:

is there such a kernel for ppc? i wrote to the demudi list and
apparently they are still working on a ppc distribution, but with no 
release date in sight.
is there a so-called multimedia kernel for ppc available somewhere else?

i now have sound working with alsa drivers. well, at least it works with 
pd. i still can't listen to cds.
another problem is, the system sound configuration doesn't seem to get 
saved. that is, when i re-start i have to run
mopprobe snd-powermac
alsaconf
then i can use the alsa mixer and pd audio runs. there seems to be no 
way now to control sound, aside from using the alsa mixer.
where should i go from here?
thanks again.
best regards
