First, this is a fairly old version of Alsa. I would strongly suggest
upgrading to Alsa-1.0.6a if possible. That said the results are fairly
strange. It seems that most or all of the drivers are loaded. Can you
please try (as root)

/etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d alsasound start

and send back the results. It might let us see what driver is not
modprobing correctly.

(I did those paths from memory. Please adjust if necessary.)
