It simply means that there are new controls (or there was a name change
on an existing control) with the new kernel drivers. If you switch back
and forth between a couple kernel versions, you'll see this pretty
often. It isn't harmful in any way, but if you want to make it go away,
a simple "alsactl store" as root will suffice.
