Hi Fernando,
   Thanks for responding. So I attempted reorganizing the file for a
little bit better readability and then did what I think you were
suggesting and commented out the alsa sound-slot-0 snd-hdsp line. Now
it looks like this:

(I will delete the #Sound comments later after I make sure I did what
you were suggesting.)

#Networking
alias eth0 e100

#Sound
alias snd-card-0 snd-hdsp
#options snd-hdsp index=0
install snd-hdsp /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-hdsp &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-hdsp { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hdsp
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.5 ---
#alias sound-slot-0 snd-hdsp
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---

#USB
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd
alias usb-controller2 uhci-hcd

#1394
#install sbp2 /sbin/modprobe ohci1394 && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sbp2
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
alias scsi_hostadapter sbp2

I then did a restart of Alsa with no audio apps running and got many
more messages than I remember getting in the past. Is the remove
snd-hdsp line well tested?

So far no more messages in /var/log/messages, but I Want to reboot and
see if this is a boot time problem or not.
