I checked the syslog file and noticed some messages from pulseaudio
(things like "ratelimit.c: 10 events suppressed ") which are not unusual
AFAIK.
I then booted into Fedora 13 which is also amd64 and in which the sound
was working. It wasn't working anymore there either. I then booted in to
Windows 7; sound was working there.
I was checking for sings of the problem in Fedora and Debian when I
noticed that the clocks were not synced to a time server in both. Time
in Fedora was off which I fixed by making it check an ntp time server.
Time in Debian correct, but it was not checking any time server. I made
to do that as well. And right after this change I rebooted and now the
sound is working.
So, was it just the clock?
Meanwhile, Ekiga doesn't see any sound devices now. In its Audio section
of Preferences, sound devices are all grayed out and it doesn't detect
any when I click on "detect".
