I have no concrete idea, but in general, the usual problems on PPC are
either related with cache coherency or byte endianness.  I don't know
of any issue with the latter in ice1724 driver, so likely it's the
former.

Do you get DMA transfer error, or is just the silent output?  In the
former case, the problem is usually in ice1724.c, as it's the DMA
controller part.  The latter is, OTOH, likely a codec issue, and it's
either in each sound/pci/ice1712/*.c (the corresponding one) or in i2c
driver sound/i2c/*.

But unfortunately it's not easy to track such an issue remotely, and
hard to guess without the hardware response.
