I think most, perhaps all, of your troubles are due to incompatible
changes introduced in recent ALSA release candidates...

  1. The VIA 686 and 8233 drivers were combined into a single module,
     snd-via82xx.

  2. All module options were renamed by dropping the "snd_" prefix.
     (Note the underbar -- do *not* change any "snd-" prefixes.)

  options snd major=116 cards_limit=1 device_mode=0660 device_gid=29 device_uid=0

That's probably all, good luck!
