I have been fairly sick for the last week and haven't done much more on
trying to figure this out.  I'll check out the files you reference here
and see if this will at least help me out.  One advantage with working
on the iMacs is every installation should have the same drivers, irq's,
etc since all of the hardware is proprietary.

Good luck in your quest.  You have most likely figured out by now that
this must still be a black enough magic that no one either understands
enough to help or wants to take the risk of being caught up in email
hell trying to help solve this sort of thing :-)

Below is the response I received from Chuck if that helps you at all.

billc would know but first have to fiure out what sound card is i dont
remember if lspci is in there.you  could dump in th binary in yellowdog
or ubuntu and see if you can get specs on the card..then see if the
module is already part of the ppc ltsp..those sound modules would be in
/opt/ltsp/ppc/lib/modules/-->god knows..chuck

I was hoping to come across some general thin client sound
troubleshooting steps but so far have not found any.
