Nonetheless I added the UNLOAD_ON_STOP="no" to /etc/conf.d/alsasound
and we will see what happens.

Did you try stopping the alsa service manually?

#/etc/init.d/alsasound stop


This gave me errors, since my Webcam's audio part isn't implemented as
full audio device, but it does not hang:

solfire:/home/mccramer>sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound stop
  * WARNING:  you are stopping a boot service.
  * Storing ALSA Mixer Levels ...
alsactl: get_control:249: Cannot read control '2,0,0,Mic Capture Volume,0': 
Invalid argument

Hm.  Does alsamixer show that guilty control?

I ran strace on alsactl and it consults a very small number of files
while doing a 'store' operation, so there are very few places that
Mic Capture control could be hiding.  You might try using strace to
see what turns up. (If the error bothers you, of course.)
