I recently ran into this after an upgrade.

The way I understood the problem, it only shows up on systems with
several sound cards, which I dare guess, is not the rule but the
exception. Isn't that right?

I just went ahead and blacklisted the ALSA drivers. I was left
wondering if /etc/hotplug/blacklist supports wildcards.
