This looks like either a bug in your sound card, or more
likely a motherboard bios bug. Perhaps your previous kernel
had a workaround for this while your upgraded kernel did not.
Anyhow, what happened is that your motherboard marked your
sound card as the primary display card. If you look at /proc/pci
it probably identified your sound card as a VGA controller.
A workaround would be to specify the bus id explicitly in
the Section "Device" of the XF86Config file. Eg.:
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
In absence of the explicit bus ID, XFree86 is defaulting to
the primary display device, which in this case, happens to be
your sound card :)
Mark.
