That appears to be the PID of the grep process.

I'm confused. You say earlier that you have flash and pepperflash
installed.

According to the output of the grep command there is nothing using flash
in any capacity so I'd say it is something other than an addon if your
sound was not working when you made the post.
To see what is using your sound system you might try:
sudo fuser -v/dev/snd/*
This should provide (depending on your system's file structure)
something like:
$ sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0: rinaldi 1468 F.... kded4 rinaldi 1656 F....
kmix
/dev/snd/controlC1: rinaldi 1468 F.... kded4 rinaldi 1656 F....
kmix
/dev/snd/seq: root 1208 F.... timidity
Here that is normal output showing no problems. See what yours looks like.
Sound problems can be fun to solve. Especially when it is sometimes
working and sometimes not. That it works sometimes leads me to believe
is is just a hung process. The problem is finding which one.
