I noted this on Bug 27366 too -- my problem was a module setting on my machine which is no longer used in ALSA... This fix has sound running fine on my Dapper laptop.
I had a file (not sure if I added it myself some years ago, or if it was automatically deposited...)
/etc/modprobe.d/sound
That contained the line:
options snd device_mode=0660
Some googling located the information that this option is no longer used in alsa. Removing this line, caused the 'snd' module to become loadable on my system, and thus sound works once again.
