ben mentioned some thoughts he had on improving the driver, many of which (or mainly from what i read) involved dividing up the driver into chipset groups... something like that as obviously not every mac has the same sound hardware but for some wierd reason we just have an all in one driver (which has its pros and cons)
seperating it up into chipset groups means that perhaps a few people will be inconvenienced, but that people will be more able (and perhaps more willing) to bug fix and tweak. i for one, not being much of a kernel hacker, am terrified of potentially fiddling with a monolithic driver
please forgive me if im wrong.

According to the following BTS entry, the ALSA maintainer assigned to the snd-powermac driver doesn't even have any Mac to play with:

This prooves that all attempts at fixing the driver have been shooting in the dark. No f***** wonder the snd-powermac driver is such a mess!
Wouldn't it be a good idea to place a bounty to encourage Ubuntu PPC developers to get around fixing snd-powermac for all Mac PPC chips?
