I use alsa:

in /etc/modprobe.conf

alias snd-card-0 snd-powermac
install snd-powermac /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-powermac && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-powermac { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-powermac

Note you'll have to unmute things when you've loaded the modules for the first
time, use alsamixer for this.
