Good point, I don't use either so that slipped my mind... but to answer your question sound will unload properly if you compile the sound into the kernel. I'm not sure why that is but probably has something to do with the kernel suspending and resuming properly.. no running module gets hung! I found OSS to suck ass though for my intel8x0 so I switched back to alsa... you can't compile alsa into the kernel unless you are using 2.5.* and I had trouble with pcmcia-cs with these kernels.. could be fixed now but I haven't tried as everything is working fine. All you really have to do is find out how to stop esd/arts and restart it on resume. Basically in /etc/apm/suspend.d you would have a script that stops all apps running sound and shuts down esd/arts then runs a '/etc/init.d/alsasound stop' and in /etc/app/resume.d you would '/etc/init.d/alsasound start' and restart esd/arts and all sound apps you like to have running and all should work nice.
