Like I.

alsa-base doesn't supply any modules:
# apt-file list alsa-base alsa-base: etc/apm/event.d/alsa alsa-base: etc/devfs/conf.d/alsa alsa-base: etc/init.d/alsa alsa-base: usr/share/alsa-base/alsa-base.conf alsa-base: usr/share/alsa-base/modules-snippet.conf alsa-base: usr/share/alsa-base/program-wrapper alsa-base: usr/share/alsa-base/snddevices alsa-base: usr/share/doc/alsa-base/FAQ alsa-base: usr/share/doc/alsa-base/NEWS.Debian.gz alsa-base: usr/share/doc/alsa-base/README alsa-base: usr/share/doc/alsa-base/README.Debian alsa-base: usr/share/doc/alsa-base/SOUNDCARDS.gz alsa-base: usr/share/doc/alsa-base/WARNING alsa-base: usr/share/doc/alsa-base/changelog.Debian.gz alsa-base: usr/share/doc/alsa-base/copyright alsa-base: usr/share/doc/alsa-base/examples/modules-1.0.conf alsa-base: usr/share/linda/overrides/alsa-base alsa-base: usr/share/lintian/overrides/alsa-base
And the init.d script doesn't do any loading of modules. It saves and restores the mixer settings.

Correct, for any version of debian where the supplied kernel is >= 2.6 I'd say.
