Some quick ideas for moving forward:
1. Please attach output from the alsa-info.sh script[1].
2. Is this reproducible with a current sid or experimental kernel? (The
only packages from outside squeeze you should need in order to check
are the kernel image itself, linux-base, and initramfs-tools.)
3. If a 3.x.y kernel avoids problems, it would be helpful to bisect through
kernels between squeeze and sid from snapshot.debian.org to find when the
fix was introduced. If a current sid or experimental kernel
does _not_ avoid problems, it would be useful to file a report at
http://alsa-project.org/ (if doing so, please let us know the
message-id or bug number so we can track it).
Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan
