I think I have a very similar problem but with different hw: motherboard with integrated audio, an SB Live card and a USB webcam with a built-in mic. In my case I can usually see the integrated device and the webcam but not the SB Live card. I tried to simplify the situation and unplugged the webcam. Since then I get both of the other devices working consistently, with each reboot. So my suggestion: try and boot without your USB receiver and see what happens. Another suggestion: instead of rebooting, try "rcalsasound restart" as root - in my case, this usually made the SBLive card appear and the webcam disappear.
