Like you, I used to build the lot into the kernel for years and it worked 
fine.  Suddenly it stopped.  With no other discernible changes at the time to 
blame for this I raised a bug.  The devs recommended that I should build alsa 
as modules and that fixed the problem.  I haven't yet tried to go back to 
building it all in the kernel to see if it would still work.
