To me, that looks like you forgot to move the old module directory out
of the way when you installed the kernel (set a different EXTRAVERSION,
use kernel-package).

Try to put an "#" in front of this line:
/etc/modprobe.d/aliases:alias char-major-10-175 agpgart
See if maybe hotplug or discover load the driver. Make sure your XFree
is configured to use the nvidia agp driver. See the readme that is in
the nvidia-glx package.

That has nothing to do with sound. It is a known bug that you get when
you use xmms with the nvidia driver installed. Install the libmikmod2
package.
