Why did you do that?

The correct list must be:

snd_aoa_codec_tas      13216  2 
snd_aoa_fabric_layout    12392  2 
snd_aoa                17472  2 snd_aoa_codec_tas,snd_aoa_fabric_layout
snd_aoa_i2sbus         21540  1 
snd_pcm                85540  1 snd_aoa_i2sbus
snd_timer              22468  1 snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc          9256  1 snd_pcm
snd                    60564  10 snd_aoa_codec_tas,snd_aoa_fabric_layout,snd_aoa,snd_aoa_i2sbus,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore               6948  1 snd
snd_aoa_soundbus        6148  2 snd_aoa_fabric_layout,snd_aoa_i2sbus

alsaconf is broken for ppc. I've patched it to work with PnP cards
only :(

But hey, my  advice to modprobe only snd_aoa_codec_tas was wrong.
Sorry.

Please do (tseted on my PB):

# /etc/init.d/alsa force-unload
as long till
# lsmod | grep snd
is empty.

Then
# modprobe -v snd_aoa_i2sbus
or just reboot.

No more /etc/init.d/alsa reload needed. Please rely on udev.
