I recompiled my 2.6.20.3 kernel for core2, and tried alsa 1.0.14rc4 as 
you suggested:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3'
  CC [M]  /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4/acore/memalloc.o
In file included from /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4/acore/memalloc.inc:13,
                 from /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4/acore/memalloc.c:1:

'snd_pci_orig_save_state':

make[4]: *** [/usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4/acore/memalloc.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3'
make: *** [compile] Error 2

Then I tried again it with the patch_realtek.c patch copied in 1.0.14rc4 
and got the exact same error.

I've tried when newer kernels as well: no good with core2 in kernel.
