Intrepid 9.04 just upgraded from Hardy Heron 8.04 here. I haven't had sound
problems for a long while, apart from a little in the beginning with Hardy
Heron, but that improved. For now I don't know what caused the problem, I had
tried a little with realplayer11, anyway I got the typical of device /dev/dsp
begin busy but no one using it. As in a previous report I did
lsof |grep /dev/snd
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/orre/.gvfs
Output information may be incomplete.

I tried to kill 7564, 8130, 7720 but for 7720 I had to do
kill -9 7720
then I could get the sound working, but then applications like vlc complained
that they couldn't contact pulseaudio and /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start
doesn't help. I just started pulseaudio from the command line then and
everything seems fine (how to start it right?).
Anyway, the same problem /dev/dsp being busy without lsof finding it seems to
be the fundamental story.
