As of 30/09/2011, ALC269VB is not the support model listed in
www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsview.aspx?langid=1&pfid=24&level=4&conn=3&downtypeid=3
I thought it must be a key (e.g. laptop-amic) to define in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
for the sound card to work properly like
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
and http://siripong-computer-tips.blogspot.com/2011/07/82801i-vostro-v13-debian-no-sound.html
After hours of trial and error changing snd-hda-intel model=auto, basic, asus
and reboots, there were no sounds from Realtek ALC269VB of ASUS X43B Series.
Finally, I found that the root cause was that
"the modern video-cards have an little audio support built-in, for HDMI.
In some cases, ALSA misunderstand where is the 'main' sound hardware".

Solution
======
The solution is simply set the default PCM device.
How to do that
===========
Big Thanks to: http://alsa.opensrc.org/.asoundrc
# Using aplay -L you can get a List of existing PCM output devices.
$ aplay -L
....
front:CARD=SB,DEV=0
HDA ATI SB, ALC269VB Analog
Front speakers
......
# To set the default device, place a pcm.!default line in the .asoundrc
$ echo 'pcm.!default front:SB' > ~/.asoundrc
While aplay is still error, there are sounds from vlc and iceweasel.
$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav
