Bug Description
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
suddenly, after several "fast switching" between users
(that are logged in for several days)
sound breaks and there is no sound.
no specific consistence and not a specific application causing this
i just suddenly notice i can not play sounds from within flash objects in FF3
of play sound from totem or mplayer ...
restarting the alsa sound drivers does not help
/etc/init.
* Shutting down ALSA... [ OK ]
* Setting up ALSA... [ OK ]
( i am a root user, but also from a simple user that is the same case)
killall pulseaudio
pulseaudio: no process killed
root@family:~# /usr/bin/pulseaudio --system -D
W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader.
also...
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --system
W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader.
E: pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: main.c: pa_pid_
some times those commands work and i get sound
but most of the time... those same commands does not
work and i have to reboot (if i wish to hear sound)

i found out that... pulseaudio --system -D)
only after closing firefox (3) on all user's sessions
i am able to start pulseaudio and have sound again.
(/usr/bin/
i have flash 10 installed inside FF that hangs the sound. (i guess)
