Yes, it is a dup of #23445, dunno why that didn't show up when I searched (/me loathes the idiosyncracies of each bugtracking system).
I agree the workaround should work for a little while, but my experience in a console with the powermac sound loaded was that it would lock up fairly soon, as if snd-powermac twiddles bits it has no right to touch. Also, trying to use a console without the tab key is damned hard! At the moment, the box is running 2.6.17-rc5 with snd-aoa and sound works - snd-aoa should be in alsa soon (possibly, 2.6.18) and when that happens the problem will disappear because the powermac driver is being fixed to not load when a layout ID is present.
