work around found on the web:

"Occasionally in Ubuntu Linux, some application hogs the pulseaudio sound server causing other programs like vlc and mplayer to not be able to actually play sound. There is a simple fix for this problem and it can be found at the command prompt level.

Open up BASH and do the following...

mousecrash$ sudo pkill -9 pulseaudio

mousecrash$ pulseaudio"
