My Revolution 5.1's drivers for 10.4 & 10.5 never did work quite right. They did work, but some options were greyed out, settings were forgotten, etc… I won't buy another M-Audio card for OS X without first researching other user's experiences with it.
My Revolution 7.1 works fine in a Sawtooth running 10.5.8. Quirks, yes, but everything that really matters works, and I've used it for recording as well as playback. The most crucial "quirk" is something I learned by accident: Access the M-Audio settings ONLY through System Preferences, NEVER by clicking on the M-Audio icon that appears in the Dock when the preference pane is open (result = instant kernel panic).
The most annoying of the quirks is the mind-of-its-own unpredictability regarding Speaker Sets. Early on (5-6 months ago), I tried without success to delete some sets I'd created as I was experimenting. So I gave up on that. I just tried it again, and now I CAN delete them. Even this is beyond the level of weirdness any Apple/ Mac person should have to put up with, but as far as I can tell, for an advanced audio card that works with a G4 Mac, the M-Audio Revolution is the only game in town. The sound quality is beyond amazing compared to a stock sound card - that much I can vouch for.
