I got bit by this too and posted here and on devel -- I was referred to these two bugs:
http://bugs.debian.org/287483 http://bugs.debian.org/284356 If you read through them you'll find that they changed some symbol references in the new kernel you installed and any modules compiled against the old kernel source are now broken ... that includes all of ALSA. The solutions provided were: wait for alsa modules to be updated, or compile alsa yourself from source. I tried the source route, but have too many issues with different versions of things and or always wanting pcmcia ... if it goes too much longer I may just install all the pcmcia stuff and compile anyway. The bad thing in looking at the earlier bug above is that this has been kicking around since 12/4/04 and still isn't resolved 'normally', though it is tagged as 'grave' and is in the sarge release path. Hope that helps.
