I had this problem initially. ALSA failed to recognize that the sound chip is "snapper". Go to your kernel sources, file sound/ppc/pmac.c and comment out the chip autodetection. See here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2004/05/msg00349.html This seems to be fixed in newer kernels, I am running 2.6.7-bk9. I don't think it has anything to do with the old problem that you mention.
