I found this passage:

Audio - On-board audio on most models (awacs or snapper)

Note: The (awacs) driver is considered ``experimental'', meaning that
it may cause your system to crash and/or is lacking some features you
may expect. Due to interrupt conflicts with some G4 models, this
driver is disabled by default and you will need to build a kernel with
it enabled.

===== quote end ====

But at least 10.0 Generic.MP have it enabled by default, it seems.
Tested on qemu 9.2.90 910.0-rc0) with experimental patches. No big
luck with 2-way smp but sound works ..especially if I set
mpg123/mplayer to 11Khz :)

So may be this bit of info should be corrected?

I still can't boot -current on qemu, will keep trying on Dingusppc (
emulating g3 beige machine  - macos 9.0/9.1 install worked, even if
you need to remove ATI extensions due to incomplete Rage graphics
support in this emulator)
