I have browsed over the recent bug reports, and I imagine this one will too
be shrugged off as "too bad, PCI enumeration is here to stay." But...

Hotplug is now automatically loading all the ALSA drivers for the sound
cards in my system. Previously, the alsa-base package's /etc/init.d/alsa
took care of this.

The older behavior was preferable. I have multiple sound cards in my system.
Specifically, I have an on-board sound card (motherboard) which sucks and I
have a PCI sound card which sound much better and has more features.

With the ALSA configuration, I specified the PCI sound card to be loaded
first (just becoming the default sound card for most Linux applications) and
the on-board sound was loaded second. (if at all)

Hotplug has now taken the loading process from ALSA and caused the card
order to be changed.

Is there a better solution outside blacklisting and allowing ALSA support to
fall down to the ALSA packages itself.

If not, someone should inform the apparently MIA ALSA maintainers about the
order change. (OSS emulation is not loaded by default by hotplug without
added lines to the modprobe.d files) It seems like a bit of a coup.

Do I still need to have discover installed? It seems hotplug is doing that
work too...

Changes: 
 alsa-driver (1.0.4-2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Steve Kowalik:
     - Actually do some work on this package!
     - Check for the presence of either devfs or udev before creating device
       nodes in alsa-base's postinst. (Closes: #243876)
     - Rewrite the init script to not load modules. Loading modules is now
       the responsibility of the user, or hotplug.
       (Closes: #195516, #203491, #210440, #232380, #237003, #237452, #240594)
       (Closes: #244068, #245783)
     - Stop alsa-base depending on lsof and procps.
     - Change the description for alsa-base to no longer mention module
       loading.
     - Rewrite the debconf-age for alsa-base:
       + Stop asking which modules to load. (Closes: #199739, #218655)
       + Only ask one question about saving mixer settings, in the style of
         setserial.
       + This means we can stop doing vile things to the debconf templates in
         debian/rules.
       + This also means that alsa can restore on bootup, and not save on
         shutdown. (Closes: #191501, #232854)
     - Remove the files under /etc/alsa/modutils, and the symlinks
       into /etc/modprobe.d and /etc/modutils.
     - Provide an alsa-base file under /etc/modprobe.d and /etc/modutils
       which will load the OSS compatibility modules.
       (Closes: #229486, #240594)
     - Blacklist (for hotplug) and skip (for discover) the OSS sound modules.
       Note that we can include the blacklist automatically for hotplug, but
       discover doesn't contain the infrastructure for that, so the file for
       discover is in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base.
       (Closes: #238278, #238694, #240125, #242720)
     - Due to the fact that the init script no longer touches modules, this
       script has been gutted to a shadow of its former self. (Closes: #238994)
     - Stop using install -d so liberally in debian/rules.
     - Rename debian/po/no.po to debian/po/nb.po.
     - Correct typo in debian/po/fr.po. (Closes: #245031) (thanks,
       Pierre Machard)
     - Remove debian/alsa-path, I can't see anything at all that references it.
   * Unreleased and untested.
