That recreates /etc/asound.state, but doesn't solve the lack of sound.
I still get the error that was clipped in the first quoting above:

Mar 11 13:56:39 wagner alsactl: /usr/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1267: No
soundcards found...
Mar 11 13:56:39 wagner alsasound: Restoring sound driver settings failed
Mar 11 13:56:43 wagner wait_for_sysfs[12697]: either wait_for_sysfs
(udev 039) needs an update to handle the device '/class/sound' properly
(class specific file unavailable) or the sysfs-support of your device's
driver needs to be fixed, please report to <linux-hotplug-
devel at lists.sourceforge.net>

Note there is no /class/sound  And "find / -name 'class/sound" turns up
nothing either.

PS: The machine is an IBM T41 laptop.
