first of all thank you so much! taking into mind what some of you imformed me of looked through the difference between re-alsaconf-ed sound making stable and unstable i though i saw snd-powermac in the /etc/modules of stable (maybe just got confused with other file such as /etc/modprobe.d/sound) and simply added that to /etc/modules of unstable and hoooray! unstable's mpg321 and alsamixer is working okay after rebooting into stable found that disappearing from stable's /etc/modules so did the same and now doth debians are making sound even after re-booting
when things were weird after re-booting i saw things like "setting up ALSA ... warning : 'alsa-ctl restore' failed with error message 'alsactl : load_state:1329: No sound cards found" both on shutdownings and bootings now i don"t but i see "ondemand governor failed to load due to too long transition latency" only on unstable ... wonder what this is .. some wonderings still remains in both debians' /etc/modprobe.d/sound has: alias snd-card-0 snd-powermac options snd-powermac index=0 is this saying that the snd-card-0 is the true thing i have on my machine? but when alsaconf-ing i saw it saying that snd-powermac was found then as someone says alsaconf is rather messing up the system from it should have been? i think the pure install didn't make beeps too but in my case calling the card snd-powermac is just the long and winding road? or is it actually is that old snd-powermac and what am doing now is the right way to get along with the comimg kernels? this is the very early stage of setting up the environment so if i should simply re-install and do things without alsaconf -- i mean if that makes things clean" i would .. i also had "alsa09" in the /etc/libao.conf of stable but in unstable it was just "alsa" i removed "09" from stable but it seems to be okay ... wonder why it was there --- Johannes Berg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, 2007-07-03 at 16:26 +0200, Gaudenz Steinlin wrote: > > > alsaconf is pretty useless for powermacs.
