This one looks okay ;)

This one is produced from an old version og alsaconf. The kernel is
told to load snd-powermac by this file, but udev wants to load
snd_aoa_codec_tas. Move this file out of /etc/modprobe.d/, reboot
and check again please.

Send the output of lsmod | grep snd which sholuld look similar to:

snd_aoa_codec_tas      13216  2 
snd_aoa_fabric_layout    12392  0 
snd_aoa                17472  2 snd_aoa_codec_tas,snd_aoa_fabric_layout
snd_aoa_i2sbus         21540  1

This is why alsactl is looking for snd_powermac, which I guess is
not available, though.
