This is what helps *most* of the time here (Titanium IV) when sound is
gone:
fuser -v /dev/dsp
stop the processes showing up, something similar to:
kill <PID>
or
kill -s 9 <PID>
and restart sound if it isn't available at this point, something like:
modprobe dmasound_pmac
Be careful: it might be one gets logged out of a running Gnome
session after "kill <PID>" (or was it "killall <running processes>"?)
... :)
