Hi Peter, My issue running Lubuntu (and Mini and Debian Jessie) on PPC was much larger than a sound issue. There is little I can do to even boot to anything coherent. I cannot even get to a console reliably to even begin to try to modprobe, or mess with xorg, or any of those fine things that PPC often requires. In the Ubuntu mini, I would run for a while fine, but if I tried to install something the computer would simply turn off. It surely is possible the hardware is no longer working, but I will test out some that I know to be working (12.04 worked flawlessly), and with 14.04 I can: sudo modprobe snd-aoa-/whateverone/ and mess with alsamixer.
Thanks you for your input!! I appreciate your insights and help.
