I deleted /usr/include/asm and I symlinked it to 
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28-11/include/asm-generic and I did a 
recompile. After rebooting then the error disappeared.

Oh I'm Sorry.
/usr/include/asm was a static folder containing a lot of files before. I 
linked /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28-11/include/asm-generic to 
/usr/include/asm then.

Are you sure that you're using the same gcc-compiler on the alsa modules 
as same as on the kernel?
The compiler-versions might being different.
