Now when I reboot, ALSA doesn't even see my video card even though it
seems to be on the PCI bus. I can't use dmesg because it is filled with
the garbage (udev bug?) described in my last post.

At least it seems the Asus card is seen by the PCI bus:

    # lspci -vvv | grep Xonar
    Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Virtuoso 100 (Xonar DX)

The driver used to be reported by #lshw:

    # lshw | more
             *-multimedia
                   description: Multimedia audio controller
                   product: CMI8788 [Oxygen HD Audio]
                   ...
                   capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list  
                   configuration: driver=snd_virtuoso latency=32 
			maxlatency=24 mingnt=2
                   resources: irq:19 ioport:d000(size=256)  

   but no more, even though all I've done is to have added the line

     options snd_virtuoso index=0

   at top of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. The # lsmod command now
   returns:

                   ...
                   capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list
                   configuration: latency=32 maxlatency=24 mingnt=2

     the virtuoso driver missing and so no resources are found.

even though the alsa virtuoso driver is loaded:

    $ lsmod | grep virtuoso
    snd_virtuoso           33765  0 
    snd_oxygen_lib         27905  1 snd_virtuoso
    snd                    42761  17 snd_timer,snd_seq_device,snd_seq, \
                                  snd_pcm,snd_rawmidi,snd_hwdep, \
                                  snd_mpu401_uart,snd_usbmidi_lib, \
                                  snd_usb_audio,snd_hda_codec, \
                                  snd_hda_intel,snd_oxygen_lib, \
                                  snd_virtuoso, \
                                  snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_ctxfi

Before rebooting, I had
 
        # cat /var/log/boot | grep card
        Thu Feb 12 14:23:35 2015: [....] Setting up ALSA...warning: \
  	  'alsactl restore' failed with error message 'No state is \
	  present for card DX 
        Thu Feb 12 14:23:36 2015: No state is present for card \
	  DX'...^[[?25l^[[?1c^[7^[[1G[^[[32m ok ^[[39;49m^[8^[[?25h^[[?0cdone.

	But subsequently nothing is returned for "card" but I do have:

	# cat /var/log/boot | grep ALSA
	Tue Feb 17 05:46:13 2015: [....] Setting up
	ALSA...^[[?25l^[[?1c^[7^[[1G[^[ \
