Do you mean esound?

Can you show me the comparison you have done? As far as I know /etc/asound.conf
isn't included in any package. It is an optional sysadmin configuration file.

If you are not sure that it worked before the upgrade, it is really difficult to
be certain there is a bug here.

Was /etc/asound.conf even present before the upgrade? I can't see any package
that would delete it.
