This could very well be

It doesn't happen on my desktop, but today I tried it at my laptop
where I can replicate the problem. However, that is one of those
head-banging problems, and Sebastien and me still have to find which
package is actually the culprit.

In the meantime, try

 sudo apt-get install libesd0

(which will replace libesd-alsa0), which should help. You will lose
ALSA dmix, but compared to Hoary that's at least not a regression.
