Wierd. I must say, nothing leaps out and grabs me, saying what's wrong. 
I'm using version 0.9.0_rc6 , and my card works perfectly. Is that the 
version you are using? If not, could you upgrade to it?

A slightly dumb question: is the kernel you are running now the same one 
that you were runniing when you emerged ALSA?

Try disabling the NVidia drivers and rebooting. Even if that doesn't 
solve the problem and if it gets to the point where you need to submit 
a bug, the kernel people will reject it out of hand if the kernel is 
tainted.

Could you send in your /etc/modules.d/alsa? I've put mine up at:

http://www.kode187.net/alsa.txt

Substitute that in for yours, run modules-update and see what happens.
