Same problem on my 3.1 MacBook... Only getting sound from 'front-left' and 'front-right' speakers. Published fixes suggest unmuting surround sound either via the volume control properties or by installing the ALSA mixer.
In my case, neither seems to have a channel for surround sound...
Thanks.
You probably can remove it. I didn't remove alsa from synaptic though and it still works fine.

ALSA is the actual driver. It interfaces with the hardware.
PulseAudio is a soundserver.

Does anyone know whether this is a bug in ALSA or something else? If you need any more info about my system, I'd be happy to provide it.

Now my audio doesn't work at all. I don't know what caused it, but I can't get sound, even by doing all the things I mentioned in my original post.
Please help me.

There is a bug report here.

I got audio working again after reinstalling anything alsa in Synaptic. That bug report doesn't give me any new information unfortunately, but thanks for pointing it out. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Is this bug going to be fixed in Intrepid? Would it be safe to try installing the alpha of Intrepid (i.e. has anyone with a Macbook tried already)?

not on a macbook, but I have been running it on my iMac and it is pretty stable.
If nothing else you can just tryout the LiveCD.
