I had a similar problem that may be related. I first noticed that my sound was not working
after a pulseaudio update. There was a partial workaround to get sound working again here:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/288861

where alsamixer -Dhw revealed that the PCM volume was at zero, and turning it up restored
sound operation. I still have the problem that my system hangs during shutdown while it is
shutting down ALSA. I think that may be because pulseaudio -k does not work, and pulseaudio
is an ALSA client.

Here is a list of similar bugs:
