dmasound_pmac has not existed as a driver for several years now.  The 
closest thing shipped in the kernel is snd-powermac, although in my 
experience it doesn't seem to load automatically.

lspci on an Indigo PowerMac failed to display any sound devices.  This 
might have something to do with the driver not loading.  I haven't tried 
attempting to load it manually.
