Is there a way to reset ALSA?

In the past months there's a lots of trouble with the sound system of my computer*, and I think it would be the best, if I could restore the vanilla state of the whole sound system, as if it was a fresh install of Arch, but I don't know how.

* for e.g.

lenry@Echo-One:~$ speaker-test -c 2

speaker-test 1.0.25

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
ALSA lib pcm.c:2092:(snd_pcm_open_conf) type is not defined
Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory

Only one source can use the sound card at a time
My Intel HD Audio card is named "Internal Audio Analog Stereo"
I can't use the HDMI sound from my CPU (Intel Core i7-2600K - my TV is on that, and I want to use it with XBMC)

I would say remove all .asoundrc files, take alsa out of your DAEMONS array to make the volumes reset and maybe reinstall the package. Just don't use the alsaconf program.

Great things come in tar.xz packages.
