Sound has reappeared as suddenly as it disappeared....  The only potential 
explanation that I can think of is that Amarok was running in the background 
and possible hogging the sound card, and I shut it down properly.

The flaw in that explanation is that I think that the sound disappeared before 
I started Amarok, but I may be mistaken in that - because it would leave me 
without any explanation.
