Right, that will not match. You could add:
  alias pnp:dCTL0001 snd-sb16
to:
  /etc/modprobe.d/pnp
or some other file in that directory.

We may switch to acpi based module autoloading in the future and add
"acpi:*" aliases to the modules intsead of the broken pnp alias hack.
Just to check if that would work, can you please provide the output
of:
  grep . /sys/bus/acpi/devices/*/modalias

Thanks,
Kay
