Just confirming, adding the "ifconfig eth0 shutdown" to alsa-utils also worked for me.
Marvell Technology Group Ltd 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller
I'm using 8.10 RC amd64
On a side note I can now restart/shutdown from the toolbar button. I previously had to logout and restart or gdm would hang before I got to the ALSA hang. (pressing the power button once would move me past GDM and on to the ALSA hang. At that point only ALT>SYS RQ>R S E I U B would restart without a cold boot)
