I made it! Maybe I was too tired yesterday, don't know what I did, but
it seems that the old settings work with alsa 1.0.19, so i have my
sound back by passing model=mbp3. An interesting feature of the new
alsa-driver is the experimental capability to (finally!) reset the
card's status when unloading the driver, and I found out it works well
for me.
If you need 2.6.28, then it's worth to give it a shot, but I think the
new alsa will only be merged in 2.6.29...
