I encountered this bug too, and noticed the same "unable to find" ALSA errors while trying to play Frets on Fire.

I did a dist-upgrade, but sound vanished after first reboot. Formatted everything except /home and did a clean install, but again sound vanished after first reboot. I wonder if there's updates that corrupt the sound configuration.

To complicate things, I have two sound cards: NVidia and Revolution51. Trying to switch to Revolution51 (ICE1724) in Gnome sound settings menu just displayed some errors.

"asoundconf set-default-card Revolution51" fixed the bug for me. I may also have removed ~/.asoundrc*.

Info:
Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 (clean install and dist-upgrade from working Edgy). Sound cards: NVidia integrated / ALC883 and M-Audio Revolution 5.1 (ICE1724).
