  This function is at the base of the first version of ST_Intersection which compute the intersection between a raster and a geometry.

  So it can then be used like this:
 
  SELECT (ST_AsPolygon(rast)).val, (ST_AsPolygon(rast)).geom FROM sometable

+ or like this (maybe faster, to verify):
+
+ SELECT (gv).val, (gv).geom FROM (SELECT ST_AsPolygon(rast) gv FROM sometable) foo
