I just wrote up a description of the bug upstream.

Short version:
The ALSA plugin for the GST framework that mixer_applet uses, still looks at the old device nodes for the ALSA mixer. These nodes are deleted upon suspend (or hibernate) but the ALSA plugin is unaware of this. the poll() function used returns immediately with an error code instead of properly blocking, which causes the mixer_applet to use 100% CPU.

So it's an GST bug, not a gnome-applets one.
