This keeps coming up over and over.  Isn't there some way we can at
least print an obvious warning if someone tries to load the OSS and ALSA
module for the same device?

I guess this isn't the culprit.  On 2.6 kernels, the modules can stay
even if the probe fails because of PCI hotplug.  So, i810_audio can't
obscure snd-intel8x0 driver.   (Yes, there was a bug in i810_audio,
ignoring the error from request_* functions, but it was fixed
meanwhile.)

My wild guess is a mixer configuration problem as usual.

So the i810_audio module and the snd-intel8x0 module can be loaded at 
the same time? Would the below work?

*soundcore               6404   2  [i810_audio snd]*

Yes, they can be loaded at the same time.
But "loaded" doesn't mean that it's "working".

This line is fine - the functions of soundcore are linked to modules
i810_audio and snd, so the module count of soundcore were incremented.
That's all.  No more, no less.  I have no idea whether it "works".
