Well but this just avoided the issue. I was scratching my head few days
ago too :-) My short story:
* 2.6 upgrade, sound was OK with OSS
* udev and ALSA upgrade --> no /dev/dsp i.e. no sound

My solution:
* remove /etc/modprobe.conf which was empty file
Reason: As mentioned in MODPROBE.CONF(5)
NOTE: If the file /etc/modprobe.conf exists, all contents of /etc/mod-
probe.d/ are ignored by default. It is up to the system administrator
to keep them in sync, either using a tool to concenate files /etc/mod-
probe.d/ and write /etc/modprobe.conf or using include statements to
share the configuration data (see below).
Somehow I had empty /etc/modprobe.conf which prevented hotplug/udev to
read files in /etc/modprobe.d/ . See http://bugs.debian.org/271763
So now I have my system back :-)
