This looks like you have more than one set of alsa modules installed,
and I've done that this week.
All versions of alsa have a "snd" module, but they get installed in
different places in /lib/modules/`uname -r` depending on the version,
perhaps also on the distribution, and they provide different sets of
services depending on the version.
So installing a newer (or older) version of alsa-driver may not clean
up the previously installed version, because the modules get installed
into a different location.
Try
find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name snd.o -print
and see if you find more than one copy of snd.o. The likeliest places
are .../misc and .../kernel/sound, though I half remember a third
place, too. Clean out all the alsa related modules, ie "snd*.o", and
reinstall the one you want to try.
