[Ham-Mac] OT - G4 Sleep Problems

Sorry for the extra bandwidth but maybe someone here has had a  
similar problem with their G4.  My computer intermittently (but now  
continuously) doesn't want to stay asleep.  I've gone thru all the  
troubleshooting steps I know:

--Permanently removed USB and Firewire PCI cards (nothing now in the  
backplane)
--Disconnected the external Firewire HD
--Disconnected all USB appliances less the keyboard and mouse
--Done Cocktail till I'm blue in the face
--Archived and Installed OS X back up to current 10.4.10

Even after all that it still won't sleep.  When I look at the console  
log I see:

Aug 16 23:05:20 Dino-Papass-Computer kernel[0]: System Sleep
Aug 16 23:05:20 Dino-Papass-Computer kernel[0]: Sound assertion "0 !=  
err" failed in "AppleLegacyAudio/AppleTexas2Audio/ 
AppleTexas2Audio.cpp" at line 3648 goto Exit
Aug 16 23:05:20 Dino-Papass-Computer kernel[0]: ^PSystem Wake
Aug 16 23:05:20 Dino-Papass-Computer kernel[0]: Wake event 0020

so the only thing I can see is this "Sound assertion"  
failure....beats me what that is....anyone have a clue since it looks  
like the only thing after sleep and before waking up.

Scratching my head and getting ready to go get the sledge hammer!

Thanks in advance!
