alsa-base 1.0.25+3 installs:
/etc
/etc/modprobe.d
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist.conf
The modeprobe stuff is AFAIK merged to kmod
/etc/default
/etc/default/alsa-base
This is useful for apmd powermanagement. Since lenny kernels are not
built with APM support anymore it should be useless for jessie.
/usr
/usr/sbin
/usr/sbin/alsa
This is a relict from alsa-driver package to have some snd-mod
handling:
Usage: /usr/sbin/alsa {unload|reload|force-unload|force-reload|suspend|resume}
This isn't used by any Debian package. If a user want to unlosd
snd-mod's one must handle it with modprobe.

Hints for Handling of multiple cards can be adapted to alsa-utils

Only package managing.
So yes, why not orphan alsa-base for Jessie?
