[SOLVED] todays upgrades (16.1 and 4.4.8)

Hi,

It seems that after the 4.4.8+ upgrade, Alsa is broken somehow:

Terminal

xbian@livingpi ~ $ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...
xbian@livingpi ~ $ sudo aplay -l
aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...
xbian@livingpi ~ $ lsmod

snd_timer 17617 1 snd_pcm
snd 48247 3 snd_bcm2835,snd_timer,snd_pcm
xbian@livingpi ~ $ dmesg | grep snd_bcm

As can be seen, snd_bcm2835 does get loaded but isn't visible to Alsa at all. This is highly disheartening as I had just managed to get a centralized Mopidy with snapcast clients running on all my Xbian RPi's. Now that doesn't work anymore as snapcast only sees a null sound output (there used to be about 10 different output options, related to various ALSA paths):

Terminal

root@livingpi ~ # snapclient -l
0: null
Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)

Any idea how this could be fixed?
