The PULSE_INTERNAL variable is used as a means for the alsa pulseaudio plugin 
to find out whether the pulseaudio sound server is running. Forcing it to 0 
causes the plugin to assume that tghe server 
is not running.

What I think is happening is that dispite amixer etc being called with specific 
card numbers to be adjusted, the pulseaudio plugin for alsa is being called at 
some point, and since pulseaudio can be 
used over a network, this is causing some form of name resolution going on.

If more people report back with "export Pulse_internal=0", I'll get it
added and pushed through as an update, to prevent any pulseaudio plugin
goings on during the alsa-utils script running life.
