Is this what you mean by "clean up all sound/mixer related stuff"?
Yes, except that you should delete the nvsound entry, too. First objective should be to get the intel8x0 driver working as reference. After that you can try installing the external nvsound driver.
I tried also deleting the "alias snd-card-0" line but this stopped system-config-soundcard from starting at all.
Weird. If you have sound driver kernel modules loaded before starting s-c-s, that likely causes problems or confuses it.
modprobe.conf is now:
# Note: for use under 2.4, changes must also be made to modules.conf! alias usb-controller ohci-hcd alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 options ne irq=10 alias eth0 nvnet alias usb-interface usb-ohci alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
After booting I get no sound.
If I run system-config-soundcard I then get sound (although no changes to /etc/modprobe.conf).
If I then reboot, I get no sound again.
I'm losing the configuration somewhere.
I've removed the nvsound module (modinfo nvsound now says no such module or somesuch) but notice that the system-config-soundcard still remembers that nvsound was there at some point - oddly when I play the test sound button on the tab for this module it still works!!!
