The old file may not be completely functional for the current alsa.  It seems
that you might just need ro re-emerge alsa-utils and run dispatch-conf, choosing
"u" to overwrite /etc/init.d/alsasound.

Yes it will work as it does now.  Do a - ls -l /etc/runlevels/boot
You'll see that it's just a link that rc-update creates.
