You are the victim of yet another abrupt, incompatible change in the ALSA driver interface. This one occurred between 0.9rc3 and 0.9rc5. Basically, they removed the "snd_" prefix from *all* ALSA module option names.
The rationale given was a desire to become compatible with de facto kernel standards for module option names. Apparently, the kernel developers had requested, but not demanded, this change when ALSA was first incorporated into the 2.5 kernel source tree.

Good job! :-) You also need to remove the "snd_" prefix from all your snd-card-emu10k1 options. > What is going on here? What is wrong What's wrong is the difficulty of tracking a highly unstable component like ALSA. Perhaps the Debian package developers could paper over some of this mess using clever install scripts to automatically edit existing module options. That might be a good idea, but it's tricky to get exactly right. I have a lot of sympathy with the difficulty of their task. We can all hope that ALSA will become much more stable with the final 0.9 release version. This much change between "release candidates" is discouraging.
