i do not know if macmini is ok but a easy way is:

# echo "modprobe snd_powermac" >> /etc/rc.local
enable sound in gnome. preferences/audio or `$ gnome-sound-properties`
relogin/reboot


the correct way, eg. snd_intel8x0 fc3 i686
<snip fc3 i686>
$ cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 via-rhine
alias eth1 forcedeth
alias eth2 prism54
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && 
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; 
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
alias char-major-81 bttv
alias usb-controller ohci-hcd
</snip>


it was discussed somewhere
