Hey Bruno,
I have had a similar problem the last days and worked hard on it. I have teo different soundcards: RME Digi9636 and M-Audio Delta44.
Both cards where found by lspci but not always with aplay -L. Mysterious...
But yesterday I got it. I disabled ACPI with boot option noacpi in /etc/default/grub and just to be sure I disabled it in BIOS also. Now both cards work with.
So please try the noacpi boot option.
Regards
Tim
