Apologies - should have said.
I had already found the solution you mention and had to follow it to get as far as I had. I am having the problem I describe with KDE set to ALSA, not Autodetect.
Regards
Tony.

I've previously posted this to debian.user but on further investigation I think it is a KDE problem.
I run a sarge system using standard kernel-image-k7 and alsa modules. I have an Audigy sound card which uses the emu10k1 driver. Since moving to 2.4.24 I keep losing sound. If I revert to 2.4.22 everything works OK.
Using alsamixer I can get sound to work OK on 2.4.24. However, whenever I load KDE I lose sound again until I use alsamixer again. If I go to control centre and turn off "load volumes on login" everything is OK again when I log in.
Haven't been able to find anything about this so not sure whether I should bug it.

I and some others have had some problems with the new alsa (> 1.0) and KDE 3.1. They aren't quite the same symptoms as you described, but in the end the solution was to set KDE sound I/O to use ALSA rather than Autodetect or OSS. There's something about OSS emulation in the new ALSA that isn't working, at least with KDE.
