This problem is still very much alive and well. I now use a script alias to ease the pain:
alias snd='killall pulseaudio; killall gnome-volume-control-applet; pulseaudio -D; nohup gnome-volume-control-applet > /tmp/gnome- volume.log 2> /dev/null &' pulseaudio goes to 100% on one cpu at every resume, providing I don't unplug the USB soundcard and run the above alias prior to suspending. After this, and after resuming, plugging the device is not shown by Gnome Sound Preferences, but I can leave it open (on the Output tab), run the above alias, and watch it appear.
