All I have ever done is:

echo "snd-intel8x0" >> /etc/modules
echo "snd-ioctl32" >> /etc/modules (seems not to be needed on newer 2.6 builds)
apt-get install alsa-utils
modprobe snd-intel8x0
modprobe snd-ioctl32
adduser mynormaluser audio

That's it.

Sometimes it seems running /usr/share/alsa-base/snddevices to populate
/dev with alsa devices might be needed once too.

All that other crap really shouldn't be necesary.

Sound worked (once I unmuted and set volume in alsamixer).
