Another symptom of the recent broken ALSA sound is that when I shut down, the system hangs while trying to shut down ALSA.

I tried Yuval Tal's suggestion and edited

  /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio

to comment out the code that loads pulseaudio. Then I rebooted, and ALSA sound is working again:

# If we are loading a GNOME session, load pulseaudio.

#if [ "$BASESTARTUP" = gnome-session -o \
# \( "$BASESTARTUP" = x-session-manager -a \
# "`readlink /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager`" = \
# /usr/bin/gnome-session \) ]; then
# STARTUP="/usr/bin/pulse-session $STARTUP"
#fi
