Hardrake isn't really going to do anything for you for PPC sound. Most
all of the machines use the same drivers, although the name has changed
with kernel updates:
2.2.x dmasound
2.2.4 dmasound_awacs
2.2.4+ dmasound_pmac
With 8.2, you should have the following modules loaded:
dmasound_pmac 46584 0
i2c-core 14824 0 [dmasound_pmac]
dmasound_core 13640 0 [dmasound_pmac]
soundcore 4936 3 [dmasound_core]
With an entry something like this in /etc/modules.conf:
alias sound-slot-0 dmasound_pmac
If all that is in place, xmms output driver should be OSS Driver 1.2.7.
It could also be a permissions issue on /dev/dsp, although normally this
gets set up properly when you log in/run X.
