hi list
first of all, thanks for all those who sent answers.
some more questions:
you should install one a the last kernel-multimedia :
apt-get install
kernel-multimedia or use synaptic to find one, Alsa will be already
configured.
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
jason kahn

AFAIK no.
You'll probably have to roll your own at this stage.

Check device permissions and boot-time options. I have to append "hdc=ide-scsi
max_scsi_luns=1" to my /etc/lilo.conf. That's because I'm running scsi over
IDE, I'm not familiar with what is typical for ppc. I'm still running LILO on
this machine on an 'ain't broke' basis. Configuring GRUB is possibly
similar ?/

try putting
snd-powermac
into /etc/modules - it should then load at boot-time, which gives you an even
chance of alsa autoconfiguring itself.
It's really worth keeping tabs on A/DeMuDi developments here. At some point
soon there will be a ppc kernel available for testing, even now you could
probably pick up a lot of useful tips, don't be put off by the lack of a
release date. Your experiences would also be very helpful to the DeMuDi-ppc
developers. Please keep us posted.
cheers,

Should be enough to put 'snd' into /etc/modules. The root cause is this line
