I have also had the same problem. I have two soundcards. In feisty, the
sound worked, in gutsy not.

 aplay returned following:
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1286:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 
'defaults.pcm.dmix.device'
ALSA lib conf.c:3510:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned 
error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib conf.c:3982:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or 
directory
ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

So I decided to delete my configuration files:
rm .asoundrc .asoundrc.asoundconf 

The sound immediatelly started working! But I would prefer if the files
were deleted by the upgrade script rather than struggling myself to find
the reason.

Just to give you more information, here is the diff between my  correctly 
working gutsy (left) and the original feisty configuration file. In the older 
alsa version, the definitions like "defaults.pcm.device" were probably not yet 
mandatory:

< defaults.pcm.dmix.device defaults.pcm.device
< defaults.pcm.dsnoop.card defaults.pcm.card
