Nice system! I'd like one very much like it myself.

I believe this is your problem. If you are going to use the ALSA
drivers, you only enable sound support in the kernel
CONFIG_SOUND=y
Do not add anything else.

The above list shows you have the kernel module loaded as
'soundcore', which should not be here.

The above list shows both the kernel sound module and the ALSA
sound modules loaded...overlapping.

You need to add some things to /etc/modules.conf to fix this.
Check out the ALSA Howto for the specifics of what to enter.
