At this stage snd_aoa_i2sbus should detect yor soundcard but it
doesn't :( You can try to add:

# modprobe -v snd_aoa_fabric_layout

There are 3 flavours of the new snd_aoa_fabric_layout:

- aoa-onyx (PPC: Onyx (pcm3052) codec chip found in the latest Apple
  machines)

- aoa-tas (PPC: Tas chips found in a lot of Apple Machines, especially
  iBooks and PowerBooks without digital.)

- aoa-toonie (PPC: Toonie codec for the MAC Mini)

and it looks like none of them are workin on your Quicksilver :(

So could you please post a bug against snd-powermac at
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug
and let us know the bug# please?

You can also try to find a user with same machine at
debian-powerpc at lists.debian.org and ask for advice.

Thanks
Elimar
