These are boot messages from OSS sound modules.

All the above modules are ALSA modules.

But three of these (all but soundcore) are OSS modules. (soundcore is
used by both OSS and ALSA)

So I suspect your problem is that you've installed both the OSS modules
and the ALSA modules.

You need to choose which ones you want to use, and only have those
modules modprobed in.  From your subject, I presume you want ALSA.
Then you need to make sure the OSS modules don't get modprobed.
Since you say that this started after a dist-upgrade, I suspect
that what happened is you installed discover or hotplug.  They
run before the ALSA scripts in the boot process; and discover
does, and hotplug may, install OSS modules by default unless told
not to through their config files.
