I made the following upgrades:

 [UPGRADE] alsa-base 1.0.13-2 -> 1.0.13-4
 [UPGRADE] alsa-utils 1.0.13-1 -> 1.0.13-2
 [UPGRADE] libvolume-id0 0.100-2.3 -> 0.105-1
 [UPGRADE] linux-sound-base 1.0.13-2 -> 1.0.13-4
 [UPGRADE] udev 0.100-2.3 -> 0.105-1

and now:

lionelm at harif:~$ ls /dev/snd/controlC*
/dev/snd/controlC0  /dev/snd/controlC1  /dev/snd/controlC2  /dev/snd/controlC3
lionelm at harif:~$ ls /dev/controlC*
/dev/controlC0

So, many, many devices that do not exist are created in /dev/snd/ and
those that do actually exist are created in /dev/. But the end result
is that sound indeed works out of the box, even if that setup is
weird.
