Public bug reported:

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.d/alsa-utils restart
 * 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
r...@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_file_create() failed.

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)
