I have the same problem and when I run "modprobe dmasound_pmac" it tells me that it can't locate the module. What's the quickest way to get the module? Can I apt-get it?

Or he could just run "modprobe dmasound_pmac" and add "dmasound_pmac" to /etc/modules, so that the driver gets loaded at every startup. That's much easier, and the DMA Sound OSS driver works just fine on a Pismo. There's no need to go with ALSA, when there's a simpler solution there. Cheers -- /Bastien Nocera http://hadess.net
