Given your /etc/modprobe.conf, you could probably keep the /etc/modprobe.d/sound file if you comment the first line.

What did /etc/modprobe.conf look like after you installed the new kernel?

Also, you have a different version of alsa-driver than alsa-lib, alsa-utils (alsa-tools might also be useful). This could be causing problems.. you might try to "make uninstall" your 1.0.12rc1 driver and reinstall the 1.0.11 version. If the 1.0.12rc1 driver uninstall gets rid of alsasound and alsaconf you should copy them back if you don't get them with the 1.0.11 driver install.
