I'm not sure whether this will help:
AFAIK the Volume Control applet is, at least here, connected to
/dev/mixer ... so if /dev/mixer is stopped, you'll probably have the
dialog box you've mentioned.
It should be possible to verify this with a simple
fuser -v /dev/mixer
(The Volume Control applet has to be working to verify it)
If you then see something like that:
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/mixer <username> 1283 f.... mixer_applet2
and then stop the process that is connected to /dev/mixer with a
kill <PID>
you'll probably see the Applet's Dialog window you've previously
mentioned.
At least this is happening here, on
Titanium IV, unstable, Gnome, and 2.4.24-ben1
So perhaps something goes wrong with /dev/mixer
when resuming the machine from sleep.
If this is true: I definitely don't know how to handle this situation,
but at least you'd know what the problem is then.
HTH
And Good Luck.
