По всей видимости, это происходит в момент изменения или удаления файла .asoundrc в каталоге пользователя. Хотя документация утверждает, что этот файл можно модифицировать, и изменения сразу применяются. Возможно, это справледливо для чистой ALSA, но если в системе есть PulseAudio, то такое изменение настроек вызывает ступор.
