I googled and found one thing that told me to killall -KILL xine but that doesn't work.
I have an issue where something - in this case a .flv file downloaded from YouTube - kills Konqueror and thus my sound. So far the only resolution is to reboot.
Why would "killing" Konqueror (which should be defined / clarified) impair the function of your sound system? One presumably idiosyncratic symptom on my SuSE Linux 10.0 system is that after each (KDE) login, I have sound mostly working, but for some reason, sounds from Gaim are not heard. But if I go into the KDE Control Center to the Sound and Multimedia section's Sound System control panel and click the Test Sound button (which does produce the test sound), sounds in Gaim work thereafter, until the next time I log out and back in again or reboot. Given the infrequency with which I log in and the non-critical nature of sound from Gaim, I've never bothered to diagnose this odd failure, so I have no idea what the underlying problem is. Anyway, you might want to try the same "procedure." It's certainly less disruptive than rebooting!
Any other ideas?
I'm on KDE 3.5x with openSUSE 10.3.
