Hi Nigel, I've rebooted and everything is operating as normal.  I did as 
was suggested and ran alsactl store with no params and it was fine.

Now, that you've mentioned the system-config-souncard thing, it all 
makes perfect sense.

For some reason I never considered that system-config-soundcard would do 
a redetection and reset everything, but it makes perfect sense, now.

I have no idea what the usb-audio device could be, perhaps it is a 
mis-identified piece of usb hardware, the only thing I would suggest 
there would be the PlayStation 2 > USB convertor that I have.

Thank you and thanks to Anne for her suggestions too.

FYI, output of /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 tg3
alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix
options snd-hda-intel index=0
remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; 
}; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-emu10k1 index=0
remove snd-emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; 
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1
