Bug Description
This has happened twice in a week, and appears to happen randomly.
This is on a new computer, ASUS P5KPL-CM mobo with intel core 2 quad.
Only strange thing about the system is I installed the 8.10 server kernel and run that so it will actually see all 4 GB of ram - I installed it normally through apt-get though so I don't believe that should be a problem and everything else works okay.
Totem player would just hang, and mplayer gave me the error seen in the attached screenshot.
After the latest time, I tried the following:
#>alsa force-reload
/sbin/alsa: 219: cannot create /var/run/
#>sudo alsa force-unload
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-
Output information may be incomplete.
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-

Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: (none loaded).
#> sudo alsa force-reload
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-
Output information may be incomplete.
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-
Output information may be incomplete.
After that, gnome says I have no sound device.. aplay -l gives this:
aplay: device_list:215: no soundcards found...
I tried most of the applicable things to try on other bug reports, but most of them appear to be issues with pulseaudio that keeps sound from working on boot. With my situation, sound works find after boot for a few days and then stops, and a reboot fixes the problem temporarily.
My sound card info using alsa-info.sh is here (taken after gnome says no sound devices):

Please let me know what other information you might need and I'll supply it.

Adding dmesg output (while system says there is no sound card).
