alsasound service normally tries to load all the stuff it detects as modules. If you ran alsaconf, then in /etc/modules.d/alsa there will be a line aliasing the snd_via82xx module. you can safely remove it, which will get rid of the message. Alternatively recompile the kernel with that option as a module, and it will load as alsasound expects at boot. The gentoo base seems to work better with kernel as modules, and if you change your hardware and already have the modules built, simply rerunning alsaconf will reconfigure your sound setup appropriately. -- One way to stop a runaway horse is to bet on him.
