Alsa is started at boot. For example, you wanted to listen to a CD or play a DVD, there is no sound. I have to run alsaconfig again to get sound working again. Once that is done, the CD or DVD will play with sound. I use xine for both CD and DVD, and a xine-out.wav is generated if alsaconig has not been run again after a system startup.
