In /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/Introduction, starting at line 389, you
will find (quoting)

"...it will request "sound-service-0-n" where n
is

  0     Mixer

  2     MIDI

  3, 4  DSP audio
..."

so, this is looking for the module that provide the DSP, you should add
somewhere in your /etc/modutils directory (addition to /etc/modules.conf will be
lost next time you reboot or next time the update-module script will run...)
something like this:

alias sound-slot-0-3  name_of_module_that_provide_DSP

Hope this could help
