[gentoo-ppc-user] getting sound (xmms/alsaplayer) to work on ibook G3

[S L <milter@free.fr>]

Hi, 

I can't get xmms/alsaplayer to work on ly ibook (G3, 700Mhz, 2001 late
ed) running kernel 2.6.7-gentoo-r14 .
I've tested mp3 playing and it does not work (mpg321 is
ok however).

Any hint about what I'm missing ? 

xmms plays mp3 too fast
alsaplayer just makes strange noise (like no channel on TV)

xmms when reading a stream returns : 
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:549:(snd_pcm_hw_start) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed: Broken pipe
alsa_free(): snd_pcm_start() failed: Broken pipe

Someone mentioned using esd instead.

How did you get it working ?

My settings ae :

USE="dvd cdr alsa cups gnome fbcon -pda X vim-with-x ncurses radeon
directfb quicktime mpeg avi flash mozsvg moznoirc moznomail samba
maildir imap milter mbox mailwrapper -ipv6 gtk2 perl berkdb threads tcpd
mailbox imap opengl  oggvorbisi nls"

Kernel related to sound settings :
CONFIG_SOUND_GAMEPORT=y
CONFIG_SOUND=y
CONFIG_DMASOUND_PMAC=m
CONFIG_DMASOUND=m
CONFIG_SND=m
CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM=m
CONFIG_SND_RAWMIDI=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY=m
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_POWERMAC=m
CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=m
CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME=m
CONFIG_I2C=y
CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV=m
CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT=y
CONFIG_I2C_KEYWEST=m
CONFIG_FB_RADEON_I2C=y

PS : I had a look at the FAQ and http://ppcconfdb.sourceforge.net/
The FAQ mentions dmasound_pmac but I can't load it when alsa
is activated : 
modprobe dmasound_pmac
FATAL: Error inserting dmasound_pmac
(/lib/modules/2.6.7-gentoo-r14/kernel/sound/oss/dmasound/dmasound_pmac.ko):
No such device
And after a  /etc/init.d/alsasound  stop it does not work either.
