So i am now running 3.2.5 with pcie_aspm=force and i have sound.

As far as i understand the matter the change was supposed to do 
"nothing" whereas 3.2.4 did something, but in my case the opposite 
happend, whereas 3.2.4 didn't do something that 3.2.5 (without force) 
does.

The messages regarding aspm with 3.2.5 and foce are:
dmesg | grep -i aspm
[    0.000000] Command line: root=/dev/sda2 pcie_aspm=force
[    0.000000] Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda2 pcie_aspm=force
[    0.000000] PCIe ASPM is forcibly enabled

[    0.795906] ACPI _OSC control for PCIe not granted, disabling ASPM

[    4.259301] snd_emu10k1 0000:06:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16


I guess this whole mess is Mainboard specifc.
I have a another, very similar system but with an Asus P8H67-M PRO 
Mainbaord.

I just remotly booted that machine into 3.2.5, so i can't verify if the 
sound works, but as the dmesg-output appears identical to the previous 
boot of 3.2.0 so i guess i will work.

This is all i get for the system for aspm
dmesg | grep -i aspm
[    0.777824] e1000e 0000:02:00.0: Disabling ASPM L0s

So that mainboard has another BIOS/UEFI-Firmware and the 
PCIe-PCI-Bridge, the Soundblaster-Live is behind, is from another 
manufacture.
