I took a look in /var/log/boot recently and I saw a bunch of errors from
the ALSA startup script:

I think it is because /usr is not mounted at this point in the boot process.

   * Thomas Hood:
     - /etc/init.d/alsa:
       + Check for availability of alsactl and amixer using "command -v"
         before attempting to run them  (Closes: #291942)
       + Use #!/bin/bash because "command -v" is non-POSIX (see #218530)
     - /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/README.Debian:
       + Inform user that warning messages about alsactl or amixer not
         being found can be ignored if they occur as a result of the
         initscript being run in the boot process prior to /usr being
         mounted
     - /etc/mod(utils|probe.d)/alsa-base:
       + Add modprobe-post-install calls for snd-emu8000-synth so that
         the awesfx maintainer can arrange for asfxload to be run from
         /etc/alsa/modprobe-post-install.d/ when this module loads.
         (This would be to grant wish #246405.)  It seems that in
         earlier ALSA releases, asfxload had to be run after snd-sbawe
         was loaded, but now it has to be run after snd-emu8000-synth
         is loaded.  Thanks to Bodo Meissner for providing this
         information.
     - /etc/alsa/modprobe-post-install.d/alsa-base:
       + Don't run initscript start for snd-emu8000-synth
     - alsa-base.postinst:
       + Tolerate absence of /etc/mod(utils|probe.d)/alsa-base .
         Thanks to Ludovic Watteaux for pointing out this bug.
     - /usr/share/lintian/overrides/alsa-(base|source):
       + Override description-synopsis-starts-with-a-capital-letter
     - debian/changelog
       + Move entries to changelog-old
   * Jordi Mallach:
     - debian/OSS-module-list: add usb-midi to blacklist
       (thanks, Mario Lang; Closes: #292127)
