It seems I can't help myself :)

Here are the results:
- commenting out everything in /usr/share/alsa/pulse.conf:
   amixer responds fast
- removing the mdns references in /etc/nsswitch.conf
   no change. However, removing "dns" does work. So the bug is likely in 
libnss_dns, which is part of glibc itself.
- removing the search entry in /etc/resolv.conf
   amixer responds fast

So it seems that the bug is that with a search-domain present in
/etc/resolv.conf, the nameserver is always contacted, even when the
correct information can be found in /etc/hosts. Removing the search
statement is my workaround of choice, I don't think it will have any
impact on home users. However, my guess is that /etc/resolv.conf is
auto-generated by dhclient. Can anyone confirm that?
