Hello again, I solved my riddle - I fell prey to the oddities of PC hardware.
I wanted to test my integrated graphics chip, to see if I can live without an extra graphics card. So since I had to reboot (and unstable didn't seem very much so) I did a dist-upgrade before removing the card. Well, the IGP didn't really do everything I wanted, so while rebooting to test the sound problem I put in the graphics card again. And - oh wonder - the sound worked again. Well, some more testing revealed that somehow my sound card doesn't want to work properly without the graphics card. Who'd have guessed. Sorry for the noise.
