I'd been noticing some odd audio issues myself... if I leave my machine on
for long periods of time, my sound card doesn't work at all (like
yourself, alsamixer knobs don't do anything). In my case, though... a
reboot seems to clear it up. I tend to chalk it up to beta-level x-fi
audio drivers (they were only recently added to the kernel)... but it
could also be pulseaudio - I did enable that USE flag and had things
(re)compiled to use it.
