Subject: YDL 2.0, cd-sound on Wallstreet

I installed the developer package on my '98 Wallstreet powerbook G3 (see:
http://lists.yellowdoglinux.com/yellowdog-general/June01/0169.html). As I
wrote in that post:

I've learned a little bit in the meanwhile. I found a number of related
posts on the linuxppc-user list:

When I do as suggested (mac side: select expansion bay sound then bootX)
then I do get cd sound -but the quality is TERRIBLE. No matter how I set
the mixer controls (headphones, speakers, cd, monitor) sound goes suddenly
from no sound to overdriven/saturated/distorted.
I would like to know whether anyone has decent cd playback on a Wallstreet.
If so, which distribution do you use (YDL 2.0 would be preferred ;) did you
do any custom installs or modifications?
Thanks,
Soren
