What about trying to stop every single service by hand and see if one hangs? you can have a list of services by rc-update show (or something like that, not really sure) and then /etc/init.d/servicename stop for every service, leaving the boot ones for last HTH Davide

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.)
