I had a file (not sure if I added it myself some years ago, or if it was automatically deposited...)

 /etc/modprobe.d/sound

That contained the line:

 options snd device_mode=0660

Some googling located the information that this option is no longer used in alsa. Removing this line, caused the 'snd' module to become loadablee on my system, and thus sound works once again.
