Well, you're running 2.6. Kernel and udev must be used. The script
called by udev is /lib/udev/alsa-utils. It seems, that your udev or
some modprobe.d/file is missconfigured. Searching the database for
usr/lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install (apt-file) gives nothing.


This package works well and is by trueth not unusable!
