Package: alsa-utils

This is a pure 'etch' system, with Maestro card (lspci output below).
I am trying to get some sound output (from the headphone socket, but the
speaker isn't working either). So I almost certainly have something set
not quite right, but a hardlockup isn't what I was expecting from an
innocent listing of device names.
Steps to reproduce:
user$ /usr/sbin/alsactl names
same occurs if I run as root.
Because the system locks up totally, it's rather hard to provide any
useful strace output. I attempted this once but the system dies before
the strace output file can even be opened.

# Configuration file for alsa-base
# List, separated by spaces, the names of modules that should be
# unloaded, if present, before the machine is suspended. Use the
# special name "all" if you would like all ALSA sound modules to be
# removed. The modules that are removed will be loaded again after
# resume. Currently this only has an effect if you are using apmd.
# Examples:
# Value Action at suspend time
# "" Do nothing
# "snd-cs46xx" Stop sound processes and remove the snd-cs46xx module
# "all" Stop sound processes and remove all ALSA modules
