I've managed to solve the problem, with a full reinstall of alsa and all the sound-related packaged (this involved deleting the asoundrc, and all alsa related files...luckily I didn't borked the system completely); before this I've tried to do a purge/install of the alsa packages, as described in http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Comprehensive_Sound_Problems_Solutions_Guide , but this didn't work...
