The only difference between yours and mine is that I have this line:
alias /dev/dsp* snd-pcm-oss
What may be happening is a program on your system is trying to access
a /dev/dsp* device, and this is loading the OSS modules instead of the
ALSA OSS-compatibility module.
Try adding that line to /etc/modprobe.conf and see if that keeps the OSS
modules from loading.
