Hi,

I ran across a site somewhere where somebody had added:

alsactl power off

before standby/suspend, and

alsactl power on

after.

Doing this made Alsa behave for me... but I'm still having trouble with 
the USB modules not unloading--right now I can suspend once, but 
usb-ehci doesn't unload, throws errors on resume, and USB is dead after 
resuming. And then I can't unload it at all--it hangs any shell I try to 
do it in, and even blocks a shutdown. I can't unload it before 
suspending, either...

Cheers,
