I found that just modprobe -r'ing the snd_powrmac module, wothout re-booting, was sufficient to get the iMic to work. I have now discovered further that even removing the module isn't necessary; at least with audacity, you can leave all sound modules in place and go back and forth between the internal sound (powerman snapper, in my case) and the USB device by running alsamixer with the -c flag (alsamixer -c 1) to enable the iMic, then again without the -c flag to go back to the internal sound device.
