Update:

changed /etc/modules to explicitly load only i2sbus:

--------------------
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

apm_emu
ide-cd
#ide-disk
#ide-generic
sbp2
i2c-powermac
#snd-powermac

#snd-aoa:
#soundbus
i2sbus
#snd-aoa
#snd-aoa-fabric-layout
#snd-aoa-codec-onyx
# End snd-aoa

cpufreq_performance
cpufreq_powersave
sr_mod
therm_adt746x
-------------------

.. which seems enough to load the rest of the needed snd modules:
After the change above [following op. slightly edited]:

---------------------
# lsmod | grep -i snd
snd_aoa_codec_onyx     12736  2 
snd_aoa_fabric_layout     7716  1 
snd_aoa                 8076  2 snd_aoa_codec_onyx,snd_aoa_fabric_layout
snd_pcm_oss            45824  0 
snd_mixer_oss          19392  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm                89060  2 i2sbus,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer              22468  1 snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc          8744  1 snd_pcm
soundbus                6436  2 snd_aoa_fabric_layout,i2sbus

snd                    60148  10 snd_aoa_codec_onyx,
				 snd_aoa_fabric_layout,snd_aoa,i2sbus,
				 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer

soundcore               8612  1 snd
