I don't think this is related to rhythmbox. I just got this myself, but several programs (firefox, rhythmbox, movie player) will not play sounds. I started a guest session (Ubuntu Karmic, 9.10), and sounds played, but when I switched back to my normal login, same error. I think I was trying to run mythtv and it may have exited improperly and hosed my alsa port or something?? I'm not ready to reboot.
How odd.. I fired up Mythtv again, and it played sound.... I closed it, and wow! Now Rhythmbox & Firefox play sounds, too. Sorry, my only thought for a fix is to try restarting the last program that was playing sounds successfully, maybe it had a lock on something. -- RhythmBox error message when trying to play music...
