What "upgrade" are you referring to? Sid?

Mmmm, it has to be something related with:

http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/a/alsa-base/alsa-base_1.0.25+2+nmu1/changelog

   * Drop linux-sound-base: OSS was removed from the kernel pre-squeeze.
     (closes: #662038). Remove all module list generation machinery,
     it's now obsolete.
   * Removing linux-sound-base also closes: #376241, #558408 the hard way.

Review the referenced bug reports and if there's nothing that solves the 
problem you're facing you can report it.
