Yep, I did make install after the build.  And modinfo
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/sound/aoa/snd-aoa-fabric-layout.ko
shows ones of the aliases as "sound-layout-51".

I did a fresh boot with snd-powermac renamed out of the way, and now I
get even less action: nothing logged in dmesg, and when I unload all
five modules and probe snd-powermac (having renamed it back) I get

May 20 01:08:29 briny kernel: snd: can't request rsrc  0 (Sound Control: 0x80010000:80010fff)

Then when I removed snd-powermac and probed i2sbus I got the same

May 20 01:10:00 briny kernel: i2sbus: mapped i2s control registers
May 20 01:10:00 briny kernel: i2sbus: control register contents:
May 20 01:10:00 briny kernel: i2sbus:    fcr0 = 0x0
May 20 01:10:00 briny kernel: i2sbus:    cell_control = 0x0
May 20 01:10:00 briny kernel: i2sbus:    fcr2 = 0xb7f53c
May 20 01:10:00 briny kernel: i2sbus:    fcr3 = 0x0
May 20 01:10:00 briny kernel: i2sbus:    clock_control = 0x0
May 20 01:10:00 briny kernel: layout id is 51
May 20 01:10:00 briny kernel: i2sbus control destroyed

Probing snd_aoa_fabric_layout and snd_aoa_codec_tas yielded no further
dmesg output and /proc/asounds/cards remains "no soundcards".
