Do the /dev/dsp* dev files exist?  Are you using ALSA, as well?

c# ls -l /dev/dsp
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 2008-05-05 09:11 /dev/dsp
not sure about ALSA..

# lspci|grep Audio

Based on reading the man page (plus the fact you seem to have all the drivers/devices present), I believe the modprobe.d directory is processed "normally" when the modprobe.conf file is not present. 

So much for being able to help. ;(
Since some of your programs produce sound and some don't, it could be a configuration problem with them. Perhaps they are pointing to something that doesn't exist?
Other than that lame thought which I expect you've checked, I have no more ideas.
