I've noticed for some times that when i reboot my computer, the alsasound init.d scripts says "Killing processes using ALSA", and hangs. Everytime i reboot it does that. I can't kill (control-c), and if i wait, nothing happen. As a result, i need to (hardware) reset the computer. And this time, my (/) reiserfs partition got corrupted in some very bad way. ( usually it's just a matter of replaying some journal thinguies) So i think that now i should report it. I have no clue what prevent the killing, but i think that whatever happens to the killing stuff, the halting should be able to keep on going. isn't it ?

Which media-sound/alsa-utils version is this about? Which modules you have loaded? in /etc/modules.d/alsa?

Noone will notice again if you don't reopen the bug. Doing now.
In alsa-utils-1.0.16-rc1, you can now set UNLOAD_ON_STOP="no" in /etc/conf.d/alsa to keep the module unload from happening.
Please confirm whether this fixes the bug you reported.
