Prompted by Dennis's comment, I thought I'd be a bit scientific about
this, and (a) retested with the packages already installed on my HP
NC6220 (behaves as described in bug -- after first suspend audio can be
heard through headphones, but not built in speakers), (b) ensure that I
had the latest available Ubuntu base packages installed, reboot, and
retest, and then (c) try the PPA.

What I found was that after installing the packages (without adding the
PPA) and restarting, the audio worked correctly through the speakers
after suspend/resume.  To verify this was the fix, I changed the boot
timeout (/etc/default/grub) so that I could choose the kernel running
and restarted to test with both the previous kernel package and the
current kernel package.

- 2.6.32-22-generic: behaves as per bug, after first suspend/resume
built in speakers are silent but headphones work (restarting or
hibernating makes built in speakers work again)

- 2.6.32-23-generic: works properly, even after 10 suspend/resume cycles
built in speakers work immediately after resume

2.6.32-23-generic appears to have arrived from lucid-updates, although
http://packages.ubuntu.com/ is unable to find it.

So without trying the PPA it appears that the issue has been fixed in
the linux kernel update 2.6.32-23-generic.  There are a number of ALSA
updates in 2.6.32-23-generic according to the change log (many from
stable kernel update: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/583414),
including some relating to PCI Quirks, and 0dB offsets, but it's not
obvious to me which of these affect the snd_intel8x0 ALSA driver (as
opposed to hda, hda_intel).

If Dennis also has 2.6.32-23-generic installed and running ("uname -a")
then that may be the explanation for his fix as well, rather than the
PPA specifically.
