Compare the two files to see what, if any, differences there are
between
them. I suspect that something in your system is loading the wrong
sound
driver modules.
I can see that the following lines have different numbers in the column
"Used by", and the differences are:
Module Size Used by (before)
Used by (after)
snd_intel8x0 36140 3
0
snd_mixer_oss 19904 2 snd_pcm_oss 1
snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm 97480 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm_oss 2
snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm_oss
snd 57380 12
9
soundcore 10336 3 snd,saa7134
2 snd,saa7134
unix 28660 714
664
Once you find out what the offending modules are, it should be easier
for you to find out what process is causing the loading of those
modules.
I'm sorry but it's not easy to me to interpret these differences in
order to tell what are the offending modules...
And something in your /etc/modules.conf may be messed up.
Here's the contents... again, I can't seem to find what's messed up
here...

Another question, how does sound work in KDE? Are KDE's applications
and
events producing good sound? I ask because this may (or may not) be a
GNOME-specific problem on your system.
It works very well indeed. So, if it's a Gnome-specific problem, how to
fix it? Yet, why alsaconf doesn't seem to have its results kept after
Gnome session is terminated or after a computer reboot?
