[workaround and cause]
if you delete the file '/var/lib/alsa/asound.state' and reboot, the alsa
driver is properly loaded. then, you can tweak the mixer settings to
get sound (for me, i have to enable surround sound).
however, the next time you reboot, the sound goes away again and you
have to repeat the process.
thus, i believe the problem lies with the alsa startup script. if the
file '/var/lib/alsa/asound.state' exists at boot, alsa tries to load it
but gets confused and alsa doesn't properly configure. maybe the file
isn't properly formatted; i know it refers to controls that don't exist
on my card.
