The sound card numering changed from alsa-4.x to alsa-5.x.
I needed to change the options of the snd-card-cs4236 module from 
"snd_index=1 snd_id=CARD_1" to "snd_index=0 snd_id=CARD_0" on
my laptop to get it work again after the update.

It now looks like that :

options snd-card-cs4236 snd_index=0 snd_id=CARD_0 snd_port=0x530
snd_cport=0x538 snd_mpu_port=0x330 snd_fm_port=0x388 snd_irq=5 snd_mpu_irq=9
snd_dma1=1 snd_dma1_size=32 snd_dma2=0 snd_dma2_size=32 snd_isapnp=0

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but alsa-5.x now breaks esound (for people
running gnome). You need to compile esound using the OSS compatibility 
mode : ./configure --enable-oss --disable-alsa
It requires that aliases for snd-*-oss modules to be valid in conf.modules.

Hope this helps,
Fabrice
