if you don't mind me asking:

Does 

  amixer -c pcsp -q set Master 0% mute

succeed while running a 'none pcsp' kernel ?

If not it would be *very* curious if

  /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset

does not fail.  It would be even more curious
if the above amixer command succeeded on an
non-existant card.


For the same failure to affect the normal

  /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start

you need to remove /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
(as someone experiences who first installs the package.
I suppose the same would happen with broken or outdate state file).


Everything hinges on the line /etc/init.d/alsa-utils:175

  mute_and_zero_levels_on_card "pcsp"

which was not always present, but at least in the most
recent alsa-utils packages is.
