Created attachment 92731 [details, diff] proposed patch to fix this problem I've attached a patch that should fix this bug. It just checks whether kernel version is > 2.6.0, and if so, uses module_param() instead of MODULE_PARM() in the broken files. Hopefully someone will consider merging this into portage if it's acceptable.
Please check if 1.0.12_rc1 is fixed, if it is not report upstream. It's a mess to follow ALSA upstream when they decide not to fix their crap.
This is fixed in alsa-driver-1.0.12_rc1-r1.
Fixed then.

We need something newer stable.
1.0.13 is stable with 2.6.17 and 2.6.18. Try that and see if it fixes your problem. I use 1.0.13 and 2.6.18 and no issues even with -o3.
1.0.11 is not even in the tree anymore.
