hmm, maybe that is it. I'll try not unloading the alsa drivers and see
if it still crashes. Do most sound drivers resume just fine? I think
with mine the sound will still work on a resume and will only NOT work
if I was playing music while I hibernated. So I just set it to unload
them every time to be safe.
