No, it wasn't because it's not clear whether the patches are
regression fixes.

Mariusz, try sound git tree.  Risto's patches are already there.
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git
    
If it works, then try to cherry-pick the following two commits onto
the vanilla kernel:
- 8352a6fe67a0f804302b93178f2e13b66004a693
      ALSA: snd-powermac: mixers for PowerMac G4 AGP
- e25ae4fd3ccba79cfd5628642754a145394225f6
      ALSA: snd-powermac: HP detection for 1st iMac G3 SL

thanks,

Takashi
