Somebody posted a reply at some "Spinics" site, which seems to be aggregating all the threads from here. Since it's not here and I can't reply there, I'm going to answer. I'm running TeamSpeak 3 for Linux, but it isn't just TeamSpeak. Skype will also break, and the microphone is completely shut off until I reload Alsa. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, and I removed PulseAudio since PA gives me too many problems.
