I tried everything that everyone suggested in this thread, but no dice.
Definitely a bug in 2.6.28. :-(
I managed to get a partial success (most of my mixer got back, but
sound still doesn't come out, and I think it's because of a missing
switch) by using the latest alsa-1.0.19. This, be warned, means
recompiling the kernel with some PKGBUILD modifications, nothing
really difficult, but takes some time. Instructions are here:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/AlsaBuild2.6#Overwrite_alsa_in_the_kernel_source.28updated_2006-12-26.29
I made it! Maybe I was too tired yesterday, don't know what I did, but
it seems that the old settings work with alsa 1.0.19, so i have my
sound back by passing model=mbp3. An interesting feature of the new
alsa-driver is the experimental capability to (finally!) reset the
card's status when unloading the driver, and I found out it works well
for me.
If you need 2.6.28, then it's worth to give it a shot, but I think the
new alsa will only be merged in 2.6.29...

Hmmm ...
Well, I imagine the 2.6.28 series will be with us for a while, so I
imagine I'll have to build the drivers locally as you suggest, else I'll
be pinned to 2.6.27. (Running my desktop machine without sound is
definitely NOT an option, as I need some good pumping trance music on
while I'm coding.)
Thanks,
