I've just found the reason (at least on my laptop): the problem is with esound package -
rover:/home/rover# ps aux | grep esd rover 2655 0.0 0.4 2048 580 ? S 18:39 0:00 /usr/bin/esd -nobeeps prevents alsa from working. After alsaconf there is no esd running, but after reboot it appears again. How to disable esd on bootup - I could not deistall the esound package because it suggests to deinstall a gnome-desktop-environment package, and deinstall of esound-common suggests to deinstall a lot of other packages, that I would like to preserve as well...
