Burgundy is supported by snd-powermac since ages...

Well known, there is no database for powerpc hardware.

I guess you were using kmix or somethig like that to set up your
mixer. Alsa doesn't know these settings so it refused
/var/lib/alsa/asound.state. Please delete
/var/lib/alsa/asound.state, set your mixer with alsamixer, run
`alsactl store && invoke-rc.d alsa-utils restart` and check your
mixersetings again.
