New question #78789 on alsa-lib in ubuntu: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-lib/+question/78789
Binary package hint: libasound2 Sound suddenly stopped working for me in the middle of a session (i.e. no package upgrades, no reboots, no hardware changes). I use esd which plays through alsa, which uses dmix for mixing (the default configuration). Playing sound through /dev/dsp works. Applications that use ALSA fail. If I try to run, e.g., alsaplayer on a sound file, I see ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:224:(make_local_socket) connect failed: /tmp/alsa-dmix-31499-1171450656-848382: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:894:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to connect client snd_pcm_open: No such file or directory (default) Failed to initialize plugin! Failed to register plugin: /usr/lib/alsaplayer/output/libalsa_out.so Failed to load output plugin "alsa". Trying defaults.
