 Hmmm, snd-pcsp is blacklisted in

 Debian kernels load pcspkr module? If so, try

 # reboot
 
 and test again.
 
I had both snd-pcsp and pcspkr blacklisted.

  This often happens when one manipulates the audiosettings and kmix
  settings in kde(3|4). When you're using kde try to reset all
  audiosettings via kcontrol or systemsettings to the default and play
  around with the chanel levels in kmixer. Then reboot and check
  again. At the moment I can't reproduce it regulary so I didn't found
  a receipt. If you find one, please let us know ;)
  
 Not sure it's the same bug, but I got these messages on my laptop due to
 the alsa init script messing with a nonexistent pcsp device.
