If the module is loading OK on its own but there something that alsactl is doing, then you could try saving the state of the alsa system and have that load automatically on boot.

You can save current settings with:
alsactl store <card #>


Its also possible that the module needs some parameters set, maybe alsaconf is managing to auto configure those. If you can work out what these are (I can't think how to at present) then they can be added to the /etc/modutils files.

Cheers,
Simon.
