Here is a part of the problem:
$ dmesg | grep -i snd
[ 5.501289] snd: Unknown parameter `device_mode'
[ 5.521068] snd: Unknown parameter `device_mode'
[ 5.548879] snd_timer: Unknown symbol snd_info_register
[ 5.549233] snd_timer: Unknown symbol snd_info_create_module_entry
[ 5.549514] snd_timer: Unknown symbol snd_info_free_entry
[snip]
It says there's a 'device_mode' parameter that is trying to be set, but it is invalid. According to [1], [2], [3], and [4] there's something in /etc/modprobe.d/* that's trying to set it. It has been fixed in most distros.
You'll need to find what's trying to load alsa with the 'device_mode' parameter and fix it.
hth,

Which Debian kernel are you running? I've been running 2 or 3 different
Debian kernels here without any ALSA problems.
That bug report #4 above is really old - refers to the Sarge kernel.
Currently running Lenny kernel 2.6.26 on one machine, 2.6.31 or 33 on
another. ALSA 1.0.17.
