This happens because the package tries to call alsactl init, and the
config file expects the installed kernel to have both kernel patches
posted at this bug, what is not the case when giving apt-get upgrade
(the kernel update went on-line at the same time as the package update).

To fix this you basically need to call alsactl init only if the user
already has the proper kernel installed and etc.

Bug description:
with the current daily-preinstalled images (from build 20100913 on) which include new kernel patches and which are built for ES2.0 boards only. we do not have a sound device in the sound prefs dialog anymore, only the dummy device shows up.

the dialog should have two sound output devcies, one for the earphone jack, one for HDMI output. with the earphone jack being the default preselected output.
