I'm not sure if opensound retail drivers ( 20.00 or 30.00USD) work on PPC,
but if they do - they are well worth it - couldnt believe the difference on
an X86 with audigy sound blaster - I'm getting their 3d plugin next - for
when i run cables from here to my Home theatre.

on their forums (opensound.com) or in the howto's they have a work around for
getting more then one device to work on /dev/dsp at the same time (havig more
then one /dev/dsp available) - seperate sounds in other words - I havent done
it yet - but it seemed simple enough.
