 It should via udev.

I've just installed udev, and ALSA no longer works at all.
The snd* modules are no longer loaded (after a reboot).

 yes indeed why don't you try it,
 sorry i'm out.

Because there isn't any documentation.

I'm asking because, though the sound is now working, I get a hissing
with 24000 Hz files in VLC, mpg123 and mpg321 at least (I had this
problem in the past too, but not with audacity, though -- I haven't
tried audacity with the new kernel yet), and perhaps snd_aoa solves
the problem. Related bug: 381843.

 I didn't have such a problem with the previous kernels.

2.6.18 has a newer sound ppc infrastructure,
did you run alsaconf?

your question might get more attention on debian powerpc list although.

As said on http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=381658,
alsaconf was for 2.4, and I had problems with it (reported in this
cited bug). Then, what's the status of alsaconf now?

Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-powerpc
Version: 2.6.18-8
Severity: important

I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.17-1 to 2.6.18-3 and I no longer get
sound on my PowerBook G4 (PowerBook3,2). I tried with both ogg123
and VLC, both with the speakers and the headphones. Setting the
volume to the maximum didn't change anything.

I'm using the OSS driver since ALSA has never worked. I don't get
any error: the output on the screen is normal, i.e. the audio file
is really played. But I don't get any sound.

I didn't have such a problem with the previous kernels.
