Thank you Florian for your reply.

Done as you suggested. Here are the results:
# modprobe -r snd_via82xx gameport snd_ac97_codec ac97_bus snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event snd_rawmidi
snd_seq snd_timer snd_seq_device snd soundcore
# lsmod | grep snd
# modprobe -v snd_via82xx snd_pcm snd_seq
FATAL: Error inserting snd_via82xx
(/lib/modules/2.6.26-grml/kernel/sound/pci/snd-via82xx.ko): Unknown symbol in
module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
# dmesg | tail -1

I.e., the problem is still the same.
Also, as posted in another message, I tried
% dpkg --force-depends --purge alsa-base alsa-oss alsa-utils libasound2
libesd-alsa0 linux-sound-base
% aptitude install alsa-base alsa-oss alsa-utils libasound2 libesd-alsa0
linux-sound-base
and the problem is still the same as well.
Thanks
