I am struggling with sound on a Lombard G3 running Debian unstable and

In order to hear sound, I need to do after every restart:
cat /vmlinux > /dev/dsp
Is there a solution to this?
You mean, terminal noises? Maybe add 'dmasound_pmac' to the list in
/etc/modules, so that it'll be loaded automatically on startup.
PROBLEM: cannot play music cd's
Xmms version 1.2.8 is installed but fails to play music cd's.
Alsaplayer version 0.99.75 is installed but won't even start up
(returning error: "Invalid config file").
xmms can play it, but you'll need to install the 'xmms-cdread' package,
and (recommended) go into the xmms Preferences window, and disable the
"CD Audio Player" plugin. Then use the file selector to select the
CD-ROM device (/dev/cdrom or whatever), and if you have an audio CD in
the drive, you should now be able to hear it.
The problem is, on most NewWorld machines (particularly
PowerBooks/iBooks and iMacs), there is no connection between the CD-ROM
drive and the audio board for Red Book audio, so you have to use a
player that reads the digital audio off the CD, and plays it back the
conventional way.
