I was having some problems with my sound tonight on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex. I wasn't able to get Rhythmbox or VLC to play any audio. When I tried to to play a test sound in the sound administration I got this error:
audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused
So I decided the culprit was PulseAudio. I'm trying to trace the root of the problem. I've more or less determined it is an issue with the deadly combo of Firefox/Flash Player/Pulseaudio. To correct the problem I simply opened up a terminal and ran
killall -9 pulseaudio
and my problems went away. I'm wondering if this is due to a recent update from the Ubuntu repositories. Although the problem came up earlier this week, I was not having this problem previously.

I met the similar problem
I met the similar problem after install linux 2.6.31rc5. I checked the output of "pulseaudio -vvv", found a syntax error warning, then I recover the /etc/pulse/default.pa. Restart the pulseaudio daemon, the sound come back.
