Yes, I have loaded the module snd-ctfxi many times, and unloaded snd-hda-intl. Also blacklisted snd-hda-intel, and put snd-ctxfi into modprobe.conf.

I get more warnings on compiling the driver than you do - see below. (the messages below are from today not from Tuesday. The driver source was downloaded this morning.)
