Ok,
but alsa-base is an optional package and a normal user have to explicitly 
install it to avoid snd-pcsp loaded as first sound card.
I had problem after trying 2.6.26 debian kernel from trunk (on lenny): at 
reboot artsd (i use kde) failed to work because of "CPU overload" (top 
command show 99% of cpu usage) , this was due to snd-pcsp; resolved manually 
installing alsa-base.
Because most of users have a sound card installed and use alsa it's important 
to have snd-pcsp blacklisted even without alsa-base installed. 
Adding a Depends to alsa-base on libasound2 will be a good solution?

My two cents,
Andrea.
