I looked around and found https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/550350
"pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio" fixes the problem for me.

Michalxo (#550350 bug reporter) claims the problem has been fixed in livecd from 29.03.2010. I've installed from a fresh image downloaded a few hours ago.
