Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: volume-control
It is unfortunately common for applications to crash locking up the alsa sound
system preventing sounds functioning
(recreateable in all distributions by forceably terminating an active xine
application)
In my case common culprits
Totem
Firefox+Flash
Amarok and Xine based players.
As an experienced user i know restarting alsa will resolve this
however for a novice user this is a difficult task possibly requiring a full
reboot.
the addition of a object on the context menu of the volume control entitled
"Restart Sound System (ALSA)" (Attached)
or similar
with the attached action
`gksu /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart`
could become a potent resolution.
Addition of this button to the Volume Control Application could be
beneficial also.
