Actually I've seen reports of numerous users with sound/AC card problems. One Apple technician said he had had a flood of Wallstreet PBs that needed the card replaced. As I recall, it's been caused more by the power plug, than the sound plug. It can be caused by constant plugging and unplugging of the power cord which causes the connection on the board to eventually break.
I am an Apple Certified tech and I can't tell you how many of those I have
replaced. It must be over 100. I can do it in my sleep now. There are 3
boards that fail in the wallstreet series.
1. Sound card 2. Charge Card 3. PMU
Many times they will fail at the same time making troubleshooting them
difficult. It's at a point now where fixing them isn't worth the cost of
the laptop.

Even if a board costs $100, that's still less than the price of a used Wallstreet. Maybe it isn't worth paying a tech the premium rates, but these machines aren't that hard to take apart at home. Same story with the Lombard/Pismo, different thread.
